Intersections: Houston draws lines at Matchbox

Just off the Sewall Hall courtyard, flashes of Houston scenery from two projectors travel acros loops upon loops of white string, intricately threaded into a multilayered sculpture that appears to float in the middle of the Matchbox Gallery's black walls. Lovett College senior Nico Gardner's exhibit, Intersections: Houston, opened last Thursday at the Matchbox Gallery and captures a view of Houston that is both deeply personal and visually intriguing.Gardner said the idea of a "map of Houston" was a plan he had considered for some time. The projected footage was recorded on two cameras Gardner mounted to his car, one pointing up and the other forward, so both the Houston skyline and his most-traveled routes were recorded.
