Holly and I just got back from Springfield where we installed our new show “Copy Shop” at the University of Illinois Springfield Visual Arts Gallery. We’re both really happy about the way it turned out and we are looking forward to the lecture and opening reception on Thursday. Here are some installation shots of the exhibit, we will update and post more on Friday.

The UIS Visual Arts Gallery is pleased to present Copy Shop, an exhibition of 3D printed and digitally fabricated objects by Chicago-based artists Tom Burtonwood and Holly Holmes. Working from a variety of sources, Burtonwood and Holmes create 3D printed modular works that borrow from natural systems of organization. The artists utilize simple mechanical connections to create novel and unique juxtapositions of forms and meanings that promote adaptability, contingency, variability and an open source philosophy.
The UIS Visual Arts Gallery would like to thank our sponsors: The State House Inn and Engaged Citizenship Common Experience (ECCE). This program is also partially sponsored by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council.
