WALL DRAWINGS & INSTALLATIONS > RIVER ROOM, 2013

River Room is a site specific installation created for Laumeier Sculpture Park's exhibition The River Between Us. This exhibition was a collaboration between Laumeier and Longvue House and Garden, a historic home in New Orleans. Since Laumeier is a home built in 1917 that was converted into a white box gallery space and Longvue is an historic home (complete with furniture, art and other material culture from the early 1900s). I decided to pull a switch--I created a "period room" at Laumeier and will integrate one-of-a-kind objects into the Longvue collection.
