Lance Pawling is a performance and installation artist known for his work with the improvisational theater group Dumpsta Players & the Traverse Arts Project {TAP}. Pawling’s found-object creations provide the viewer with a passion for what can be made out of waste. Evocative, often disturbing, and equally alluring, his work redefines our ideas of boundless wonder. Pawling does this by composing work from found and donated items. The discovery of music through wind has also been an inspiration that stimulated the creation of wind chimes made from bike, lamp, and door components. By rethinking ideas of design Pawling gives his objects a new context in which anachronisms may flourish.
