Installation Views

  • Installation view of the "2025 Faculty Biennial" exhibition. The center wall displays two large, dark blue abstract cyanotype diptychs flanking a central grid of six smaller framed works, one of which contains the text "THE INTERNET IS KILLING US." To the right is a white wall with the exhibition title and a list of faculty artists' names displayed. A light wood bench sits in the middle of the floor.
  • Installation view of a large-scale video projection in a small, recessed gallery space. The video shows a white or light-colored horse in a moody, somewhat blurred close-up against a dark, dense background of bushes or trees. The image has a low-key, ethereal, or blue-toned aesthetic.
  • Installation view of two small, horizontal, black-and-white photographs hung side-by-side. The left image shows sheer, hanging fabric or netting, and the right image shows an object or figure completely draped and covered on the ground.
  • Installation view showing a corner of the gallery with a hallway extending into the distance. On the near walls are several artworks: a small still life painting and a colorful, abstract still life painting on the left wall, and two square photographs (dark abstract and blurred figure) on the right wall.
  • Installation view of two framed artworks: on the left, a square, dark photograph featuring thin, arcing white lines resembling strings of lights or reflections; on the right, a square, color photograph of a blonde figure, blurred and in profile, against a sunset-colored background near water.
  • Installation view of a central gallery wall displaying three square paintings: a dark interior still life on the left, a small abstract piece with a light frame in the center, and a colorful abstract still life on the right. A large, dark artwork is visible on the wall to the far left.
  • Installation view of two sets of black-and-white photographs: on the left, a single horizontal image showing tire tracks or skid marks on a dark surface; on the right, a triptych of three small horizontal images depicting indistinct outdoor scenes, possibly including foliage or figures.
  • Installation view of three sculptural works resembling dark, framed window or door frames standing in the corner of the gallery. The central piece is turned sideways, presenting a thin black profile. The work suggests an exploration of structure or barriers.
  • Installation view of a long wall displaying six vertical, black-and-white photographs of dense tree branches. Further down the wall, around a corner, is a small dark abstract artwork and two smaller, abstract pieces. A wooden bench sits in the foreground.
  • Installation view of the "2025 Faculty Biennial," showing a horizontal row of seven vertical, black-and-white photographic prints, all depicting close-ups of bare tree branches and foliage. A light wood bench sits in the middle of the gallery space.
  • Installation view of the "2025 Faculty Biennial," featuring two large, dark blue, abstract indigo diptychs flanking a central grid of six smaller framed works, one of which contains the text "THE INTERNET IS KILLING US." A light wood bench is in the foreground.
  • Installation view of a wide gallery wall featuring several diverse, spaced-out artworks, including small paintings and photographs. From left to right, a dark square photograph, a blurred color photo, two small abstract square works, a central rectangular piece with small colorful elements, and two small works on the far right.
