"Aggregate Optics of Make-A-Do" Opening Image
No full textThis item was uploaded to DLynx in the Visual Resources Center during the spring of 2019.Erin Harmon’s work dwells in the twilight zone between painting and sculpture. Filled with longing for places that do not actually exist, contradictions flourish with invocations of both the animated and the arrested, the joyful and the staid, the high and the low. Material and processes become sites for fantasy, illusion, and the interplay between flat and not-flat. The vibrant work in "Aggregate Optics of Make-A-Do" tinkers with scale to produce environments that we can project ourselves into as landscapes, even while confronting their qualities of un-nature.
Borne from Harmon’s previous body of painted paper collages, her new work is influenced by techniques common to theatrical painters, a lineage of shapes and images become a trail of breadcrumbs from one idea to another. These materials are scoured, drawn, painted, cut, and recycled over time, one idea begetting another, endlessly self-generating. Whether it be through ceramic, painted muslin, or projection animation (a collaborative video in which Harmon’s gouache-on-paper cut-outs have been animated by artist and musician Kyle Statham), the finished works encapsulate a romance with materials and processes

Queens and Monsters Installation Images
No full textThis digital image was photographed by Chip Pankey and uploaded to DLynx by the Visual Resources Center in Fall 2019.This is an Installation Image taken by Chip Pankey of Melissa Wilkinson's "Queens and Monsters" exhibition in the Clough-Hanson Gallery. Comprised of two recent series of paintings, "Queens and Monsters" deconstructs and remixes pop and personal iconography, from Golden Era Hollywood to 70's and 80's tomboys, from the glamour of disco to the digital distance of private Tumblr accounts. Focusing on the interaction of parts, Wilkinson manipulates and mediates these images in an exploration of gender play, micro expressions, and her own coming of age as a queer person. She says, "Influenced heavily by glitch art and data moshing I create meticulous watercolor and ink wash paintings in order to investigate the line that is straddled by abstraction and representation. I work in water media on paper to create a vulnerable object and a tender presence through my touch...I am interested in creating a kind of alternate identity of highly mediated likenesses, one that corrupts and disturbs our understanding of these identities as public performers, gender stereotypes and gay icons."
There was an Artist's Lecture on October 24 in Blount Auditorium in Buckman Hall. Opening reception was October 25, 5:00 - 7:00pm, in the Clough-Hanson Gallery. The Exhibition was on view through December 4
