About the Project

At Home in Here is an installation art project that combines ceramic, sculpture, video, and student-made art with found objects. The installation functions as both a virtual tour of Houston artist and HCC faculty, June Woest’s home and domestic life, as well as an overview of her past work, and the objects she collects, such as her Tong Ren Tang porcelain prescription bottles. Woest collaborated with HCC students to design unique exhibition display furniture and props that present the objects dynamically, outside the context of their usual domicile. By inviting students and viewers into her home through this temporary portal, the artist underscores the thin line between functional objects and sculpture and public vs. private spaces.
