Kendall Gallery at the Kendall School of Art and Design,
Grand Rapids, Michigan, 2004
This installation combined two important themes in my work,
both of which I have been exploring since I was an undergraduate:
my love and passion for figure drawing (culture), and my
concern for nature (key themes in my installations). In
this work, the prepared female deer, a symbol of nature,
has taken the place of a female model. Since it was
a participatory piece, students and faculty were invited
to draw at the drawing horses that surrounded the deer, and
then take the drawings and hang them on the opposite side
of the log wall.
