ELLIOTT JEROME BROWN JR, SELF-TITLED EXHIBITION, 2022
“The exhibition presented a series of new portraits and abstract photographs as a reflection on materiality, memory, and intimacy. As a complement to the 2D photographs hung on the wall, two large sculptures — one reminiscent of a freestanding cross-section of a wall and the second akin to a wooden cube or gallery pedestal — explore the structural aspects of images.
For the project, the Powerhouse Arts Print team screen-printed pearlescent portraits taken by the artist directly onto the white outer facades of the wooden pedestal. Though the Powerhouse Arts Print team is known for its ability to screen-print in large formats on paper, this process marks the largest sculptural object upon which the team has screen-printed an image, with each facade measuring nearly 6 feet tall by 3 feet wide. Recessed tunnel-like niches have been constructed into the pedestal through which guests are invited to view an image face-mounted onto the back opening of the tunnel.“ - Powerhouse Arts
