Allegheny Valley Inspires CMU Artists

The black shirts of siblings Samuel and Isabel Horgan contrast the stark, white walled critique space in the basement of Doherty Hall. Their multimedia installation "Down in the Valley, Up and Out of the Furnace: Art in Post Industrial Western Pa." adorns the room. The pair focused on cultural nuances of the Allegheny Valley, such as whitetail deer hunting and specific agricultural tendencies. The exhibit includes a series of miniature scale sculptures of tree stands, a full-size abstract stand, videos, animation and information about their processes. They conducted research for their project by finding and photographing tree stands and the environment around them. The project utilizes both their talents collaboratively. The sculpture pieces created by Samuel Horgan integrate videos shot by Isabel Horgan.
