Chris Nau and Douglas Weathersby- Wall Cut Drawings and Room Portraits

This spring, Boston Area Artists, Chris Nau and Douglas Weathersby will be creating site specific art Installations in Map Hill and Putney Residence Halls. While each artist uses very different materials and methods in their work, both play with definitions of drawing and our interpretations of real and perceived space.

The Exhibit will open April 15th with a reception from 5pm-7pm in the Map Hill Residence Hall entry lounge.

In the Map Hill Main Entry Lounge, Chris Nau will create a large scale abstraction by drawing directly on the wall with graphite and cutting through it with a jig saw. The finished artwork is sculptural relief and drawing: cut sheetrock pieces shift to create new surface planes and shadows draw over expressive graphite lines. Nau’s abstractions, derived from “animals, religious icons and machines” resonate with us through their combined familiarity and mystery. Douglas Weathersby’s interest in “questions of perception and how we construct personal space” led him to take multi-shot panoramic portraits of Map Hill and Putney residents’ rooms. From these photographic portraits he will create mural size photomontages that bring together elements from various rooms as a means of representing students’ diversity of self expression in addition to their experiences of compartmentalization and connections, community and fragmentation.

Date of artists' talks will be forthcoming.
