Artists: Alexis Granwell, Ron Longsdorf, Michael Jones McKean, Yoonmi Nam

"The intersection between construction, architecture, design, and sculpture occupies a number of contemporary artists. Many utilize ordinary building materials like cement, electrical tape and wires, plywood, drywall, PVC tubes, insulation, and fastenings to create works that address issues related to the urban experience,rus in urbe, suburbia, consumption,  liminality, memory and nostalgia, and states of reality.  A number of the artists in this exhibition address one or more of these themes by producing installations and sculptures that utilize the forms and materials found in the large home building store.  Others create workss that address related themes such as the rural vs. the urban and the ethereality of structure.  All comment on the significance of shelter in a world of shifting values, meanings, and social constructs."       - Curator, Dr. J. Susan Isaacs

Southern Graphics Council International Traveling Exhibition 2012-2015

I have one lithograph print that was selected into this traveling exhibition, juried by Frances Myers.  The first exhibition will be in New Orleans, LA, where the 2012 SGCI conference will be held.  And then it will travel for several years.
