HOME OF THE

LAND OF THE

2018-19 MIAD Alumni Artist in Residence Show

2018-2019 Artists in Residence Sommer Ferguson and Brian Pfister concluded their year long residency at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design with a closing show titled, Home Of The, Land Of The. Sommer and Brian made separate bodies of work that, when displayed together create dialogue about ideas of home and ownership.

During their residency, Brian and Sommer learned how to make paper. Utilizing denim jeans as the raw material for their paper, Sommer and Brian created a paper based installation that seemed to create a bridge form one work to another.
