Cabinet InFlux


Leslie Mutchler, Cabinet InFlux, January 2006


Collecting, sorting, organizing and arranging are means by which Leslie Mutchler attempts to make sense of the world around her. In a labor-intensive manner, she accumulates and catalogues the materials of daily life. Mutchler has created half a million replicas based upon the Post-it Note portion of her collection. It is this mass of paper that serves as the impetus for her Spare Room installation, Cabinet InFlux. In its third state, she reorganizes her post-it note replicas into a room-sized cabinet. 





Leslie Mutchler earned a BFA from Kent State University in Kent, OH and an MFA from Tyler School of Art, Temple University in Elkins Park, PA. Currently, Mutchler is Assistant Professor at the University of Texas at Austin, teaching 2D Foundations.
