Keeley Haftner is a process-driven sculptor who transforms socially and environmentally problematic materials into sculpture. She does this through the creation and use of systems that endeavor toward physical losslessness. The formal outcomes of these processes often foster an unexpected misrecognition between the perceived artificial and real.
