This show was a collaboration between Austin College and Texas A&M University at Commerce in Commerce, TX. It was a "exchange" show between the two schools in which one Art Department curated a show of their work in the other's gallery.

I contributed two installations: "Soliloquy" and "A Men."

"Soliloquy" was my first installation and probably my most complicated to date. It involved a room full of suit coats hovering around the room while a welded metal assemblage figure sat in a makeshift wheel chair in the center. The figure's head was a rusted shovel upon which a face was projected from across the gallery. Motorized elements moved one coat (exceprt from Soliloquy) across the space, eclipsing the projected image as it traveled from one end to the other.

 

"A Men" was a diptych installation formed with overlapping suit coats on two walls. One wall of coats had a white dress shirt and rip cord at it's center. The opposing wall had the coats arranged so that the form of a white shirt was formed on the wall.
