INSTALLATION ART

Installation art is an artistic genre of three-dimensional works that are often site-specific and designed to transform the perception of a space

Killing Nature


Kathleen Weetman, Kyle Riegler, Corey Gaynor, Kai-Leon Herbert, John Campbell

Our art represents how our littering is killing nature. We have a natural setting with rocks shells and plants, intermingled with paper metals and plastics littered by humans that end up destroying the natural environment and killing the life that grows from it. 

 

Name: Freedom


Rachel Buis, Sonny Qadir, Jessica Maristany, Jamie Norton


The feathers signifies the freedom and the opportunity that we have to always ascend upwards. The different colors of each feather represents that it does not matter what color you are or where your from, with hard work and dedication you have the ability to transcend above your obstacles. 

  “Husky Art: a modern contrast” 
Emily Gosssett, Claudia Delorenzo, Luke Didriksen, Millie Chokshi 

To us, this is a commentary on the mix of mass produced and artificial things in the natural world. Although it may be beautiful it’s clear that some of these items don’t belong. It is a statement that we have polluted our world with things that have changed the way we view nature due to the fact it interrupts the original worlds picture.

Un(covered)



 Julie Kim, Kaici Aloupis , Michael Barnett. DJ Scaife, Wayn Steed

Our piece resembles how we try to cover up the byproduct of human waste with more nature but in reality trash is within nature because of humanity.


Black is Beauty

Taylor Shell, Greg Rousseau, DJ Ivey, Ambur Clark

In every dark/ negative situation, there is always going to be something positive going on or to look forward to.

"Ant Olga" 

Valerie Ferrante, Sydney Frankel

Our project is entitled “Ant Olga”. The title originated from one of the boxes being addressed to a woman named Olga, and us later finding an ant on our completed work. Our project embodies the beauty of nature trying to grow through our consumerist society. It shows how both can live cohesively in our world but that nature eventually always perseveres. 

Boat of Life

Brooke Jaffe, Remi Petit, Alex Fioto, Jonathan Cola
 
Our group chose to create our piece from nature. We made a boat that can carry the heaviest of rocks and still support beautiful growth.
