Illinois native Chad Wys' has continued his deconstructive assault on the art world. Using a variety of mixed media elements, Wy's has focused on creating a series of ready made objects that are based on objectivity and ownership. In doing so, he often explores and exploits the idea of object-hood: how we decorate our lives with arbitrary, as well as meaningful, things: how we objectify the ones we love and the strangers we see. Wy’s hope is to see how the extrinsic and intrinsic influences affect an individuals reception of visuality.
