What to Know: Alex Chitty began her career as an artist in a college biology lab. She still collects and documents information, except it’s no longer of the living variety. Her still-life sculptures often find visual relationships between objects (for example, she pairs a speckled espresso cup and a rock with a similar pattern), suggesting themes of domesticity and design, of objects made important because they’re put on display.
