Here, Say | LAMAR DODD SCHOOL OF ART

Here, Say is a new sculptural installation by Dodd post-MFA fellow in sculpture, Courtney McClellan. The installation, comprised of made and found objects, recreates a courtroom. With absurdity and poetry, the judicial system and its players are recast. Witness, defendant, plaintiff, judge, and jury conflate seeing and speaking, hearing and being seen. In this space theories are performed, arguments are made. Located at an entrance of the Lamar Dodd School of Art, the work invites practice, play and judgment.
