Andi Steele arrived Monday morning (5/12) to begin installing her site specific installation, BURST. She arrived with orange painted planks cut to 13′ tall and fitted with a line of fish-eye hooks. It took all of Monday to install these planks vertically throughout the gallery, with one long horizontal piece above the large window wall. The artist navigated unwelcome “surprises” like boarded up windows patches of brick behind the sheetwall, adapting her design so that it still achieved her goal.

CPCC Gallery Facilitator Heather Felts helped lead an installation team that included our workstudy Kelly Rambo, student volunteers, and Arts Programming Coordinator Alice Jenkins.The team worked all day to string red and yellow monofilament wire through fishhooks on alternate sides of the gallery to create a specific environment.
