Press
“The objects come to life and inhabit a moody cinematic aspect to Plummer’s vision. Ancient themes of good vs. evil, spirits, and myths liken the work to primitivism. His use of materials also puts him in the category of those who historically shaped the term ‘found object.’” Stephanie Young, “NYC”, Vellum, Spring Issue, 2017.
“Keith Plummer has two works in the show, ‘Dark Knight’ and ‘Cat Mask’ using found bone parts and rock that celebrate the ongoing process of natural decomposition to a fascinating effect.” Juror Nick Capasso, “Out of Order”, Art Scope Magazine, November and December Issue, 2016.
