Thomas Sayre: Four Walls


Thomas Sayre: Four Walls features new and never exhibited works by American artist Thomas Sayre (American, b. 1950). Each of the four large-scale pieces installed in Cameron Art Museum’s Hughes Wing engage the belief systems and symbols that underpin the ideals of church, nation, and creation. Made of materials that include tar, smoke, fabric gowns, gunshots, welding material, earth and fire, these works invite visitors to draw close and experience the messiness of making, and by analogy, to bear witness to the ways that life invades, entangles, and tarnishes us.

Get ready to use your 35mm camera! If you don't have one, I can provide a limited number for the day. We'll spend the morning taking pictures of downtown and the waterfront on Kodak Gold 35mm film. The cameras are manual, so we'll use handheld meter readings to set shutter speed and aperture. Film can still be processed.

CAM Member $60

Not-yet Member $75
