In a carefully crafted combination of nostalgia and disappointment, If You’re Not Getting Better, You’re Getting Worse presents viewers with a collection of recent works by Ryann Slauson. Suggesting elliptical and melancholy narratives pulled from memories, family mythologies, and scraps of popular culture’s iconography, Slauson engages with different materials to create objects, paintings, and prints. Her objects, hand-crafted from plaster, paper, cardboard, fabric, and papier mache, look like common things in the world – discarded cough drop wrappers, pizza boxes, work uniforms. Close inspection reveal these pieces as sloppy simulacra, depicting a larger cultural history skewed through her personal history. Acrylic paintings on Plexiglas reference painted window signs and advertising, as well as digital screens and internet-sourced imagery.
