By Monique Bos Summer Wheat, a Master of Fine Arts painting candidate at the Savannah College of Art and Design, used the found objects in her own environment -- office supplies -- to create an installation. Her work is exhibited in “Office Work: An Installation by Summer Wheat,” running Jan. 3-21 at Orleans Hall Gallery, 201 Barnard St. The exhibition will also be featured on the college’s January Gallery Hop, Jan. 7, 5-7 p.m. “My needs to draw are facilitated by items found in an office supply cabinet,” Wheat said. “My responses on paper made using these tools reflect the oddity in color and personality found in accessing this high traffic space.” Exhibitions Curator Natalie Bray said the installation “offers a duality, a nice showing of different sides of this artist. One is quirky and conceptual, and the other is the more formal painting side.” Bray said other installations are planned in 2005. “So many of our SCAD artists are moving in that direction. I really want to open up opportunities for people to do installation work.” Interested artists should submit proposals to Bray at Pinnacle Gallery, 320 E. Liberty St. |
