I recently transformed my studio at McColl Center for Visual Art for an event honoring the 3 founders of the Center. The installation was a hit as I hosted ~50 patrons, staff and artists in my studio for dinner as part of the evening’s program.
My approach was to create a space using imagery and elements from my recent explosion woodcuts. I ended up with nine 4′x8′ panels of masonite, painted, drawn and and cut out, then mounted about 2″ away from the wall. Mounting them this way echoes the shallow space found in the woodcuts. I then used camouflage netting and lumber to construct amorphous canopies over each of the 6 tables to create smaller more intimate spaces within the large room.
