Wall Works: Harrison D. Walker
📷Alec Kaus
Wall Works is a program at the Dodd Galleries where we invite an artist to create a semester long, site-specific wall installation in the Plaza Gallery. Harrison D. Walker’s Portals is a multi-component project exploring color, chemistry and psychological perception. Each Portal is made with the principle of the photogram, utilizing light and pressure, to create endless variations. Similar to a Rorschach Test, each print is a variation of a repeated circular form, which explores how the viewer perceives variations in texture, surface, color, image, and time.
Each sheet of paper is coated with an emulsion or mixture of varying composition, printed using photogram, monoprint and collograph techniques, drawn on, and/or physically altered to achieve each unique print. Using light sensitive Silver Nitrate as a catalyst, many of the prints on display are designed to continue changing over time, revealing subtle shifts in color and tone. This extended exposure allows each print to respond to the environment’s light, temperature, and humidity, resulting in a unique long-term visual experience.

“We kick off the 2019 season with FLUX, a gathering of new and noteworthy works by artists from our current roster and beyond, thoughtfully installed with Corey Daniels’ found objects and artifacts. In keeping with the notion of FLUX, we will be encouraging collectors to take work home with them at the time of purchase, creating a consistently evolving exhibition that shifts and changes as the days progress.”

My work is included in Christina Z. Anderson’s newest publication Cyanotype: The Blueprint in Contemporary Practice.

Wesleyan College - Artist Residency - Macon, GA
This fall I will be the Artist in Residence at Wesleyan College in Macon, GA. I will be working in the printmaking and photography studios to make new work and push my project, Portals, forward. I hope to create new iterations of Portals, as well as work on the series, Footnotes - all while continuing to update the Manual!
Footnotes is a living series in constant flux. I hope to make some more "finished" prints in this series to show either alongside or on their own. Follow me on Instagram to see how they transform over the next few months!

The exhibition features works in all media, including sound, video, interactive media, found and handmade materials. It reflects on the beautiful and daft hopefulness of the Golden Records going forth for 40,000 years to the next closest star.
