It was curated by Brown and RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) professors Wendy Edwards and Linda Sormin.

I took this photograph of Colette in the red room installation that I made in the Brown University class “Hybrid Art.”

I made the installation with Jenny Filipetti. It was based on the associations evoked by the rich scarlet color of the room: violence, passion, sex, blood, love, hate…

We brought in a fallen tree from a recent storm and took a drill and screws to it, thinking of the figure sculptures some African tribes had in their villages, into which nails were hammered for various mystical purposes.

I’ve done a series of photo shoots in the installation since then and will be posting more images and video soon.
