Continuous Narrative

Our history and our Future

Continuous Narrative speaks about the influences the past has on the future—everything we know is built off of what has been learned or done before.

The challenge was to create an environmental work specific to Montana State University's Art Department Haynes Hall. It was crafted from discarded projector slides from the art history classes and chicken wire.

This figure symbolizes the knowledge acquired during education and the potential for great work to come. Viewers were encouraged to draw their own pictures on the paper set in front of the figure. By contributing to the installation, they became living examples and part of the work itself.

The colorful light shining out from the figure and reflecting off the stark white walls represents the influence artists have in their own sense and the impact they can have on others, making room for new chapters in this continuous narrative.
