Visiting Assistant Professor of Art, Ann Johnson, will
have her art work featured in two exciting exhibitions this fall. Her popular Nesting series will be showcased as a solo art exhibition at the
South Dallas Cultural Center, November 15, 2014 through January 3, 2015. Her Nesting series, as well as other new
works, will also be featured in a group invitational exhibition titled Notes Upriver as a part of Prospect 3: Baton Rouge, LA, a citywide exhibition. The Baton Rouge exhibit will run from
November 13, 2014 through January 25, 2015.
Johnson’s Nesting installation series began as a
public art project for Russ Pittman Park in 2013, and was originally titled Migrations & Movement. For this
series of work, Johnson creates circular nests that house delicate images of
individuals printed on a feather. The series, now retitled Nesting, has since been exhibited at: The Art League Houston as a part
of Print Houston 2013; Blue Orange Gallery as part of Print Houston 2014, and
has been featured in exhibitions in Long View, and San Antonio, TX.
Nesting explores an individual’s private space and
thoughts. “I’ve been teaching over 16 years, and as I’ve watched the students
transition from analog to digital. I’ve noticed that more and more students are
content with individual solitude and isolation as long as they’re plugged in(to
an iPod/iPad.) Nesting explores an
individual’s private space and thoughts,” explains Johnson. “Are we as individuals nesting in our own
worlds, letting the days pass us by, or are we caged and trapped in this game
called life. Rather it be in song, meditation, or prayer, nesting examines
one’s personal moments of conceptual seclusion.”
