Photo by Angela Foster.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A huge photo of a priest giving last rites to a body in a rowboat stands to the left of a large photo of a praying mantis. A photo of a Shaker table is on the right.<\/p>\n<p>Split logs. A colossal green crystal. A flying bat. A star-nosed mole.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s just a single wall of the enormous collage created by two professors at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.<\/p>\n<p>Ron Buffington, UC Foundation professor in painting and drawing, and Matt Greenwell, UC Foundation professor in graphic design, have been working on a collage that can fill a room.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were really interested in prototyping this idea of a fully immersive collage environment rather than just a picture, a collage you walk into and can experience from multiple vantage points. And it shifts as you move through the space,\u201d Buffington said.<\/p>\n<p>Titled \u201cJust In (Out of Your Mouth),\u201d the project\u2019s first public installation opens Saturday, Jan. 6, in Nashville\u2019s COOP Gallery and runs through Jan. 27.<\/p>\n<p>Scanning photos from old magazines, catalogs, advertisements and instruction manuals, they\u2019ve spent about 18 months working on the piece. The artists said there\u2019s no ultimate message in their innovation except what viewers take away for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not trying to create anything like a traditional narrative.\u201d Greenwell said, \u201cBy dislodging images from their conventional functions and contexts they can be guided\u2014in conversation with one another\u2014towards new and unexpected relationships.<\/p>\n<p>The hope is that everyone comes away with a personal interpretation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like it\u2019s more mining when we go through our materials\u2014and we have a kind of \u2018desktop session,\u2019 I would call it\u2014where we\u2019re just going through publications and drawing materials out,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re just sort of responding to kind on a gut level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Buffington said that placing images that have no direct connection to each other\u2014either by subject, imagery or purpose\u2014is one of the foundations of the piece.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe take one thing out of context and position it in relation to another thing out of context,\u201d he said. \u201cWe call them \u2018fragments,\u2019 and then we unite them in some way, and we try to create something like a stable new formation, but there\u2019s something inherently unstable. They\u2019re also haunted by those original contexts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As an example, he points to a portion of the collage that has an image of wax museum figures of Prince Philip and the late Queen Elizabeth II at Princess Diana\u2019s wedding to Prince Charles. Except for the long train of her wedding gown, Diana is covered by an upside-down photo of an 18th-century sailing ship off the coast of Antarctica.<\/p>\n<p>The ship was on an expedition led by Robert Falcon Scott, who died on an Antarctic expedition in mysterious circumstances. Buffington and Greenwell saw a connection between Scott and Princess Diana.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese images circle around one another, drawing latent meaning to the surface,\u201d Buffington said. \u201cWe were really interested in what happens when you combine these two images because you might think of the tragedy of Diana and certainly this sort of tragic expedition. They\u2019re haunted by this context, and they start to bring things out of one another.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Working on a collage is a fluid process, the two artists said. A photo or image that works one day may not work the next. It\u2019s a combination of fun and frustration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe work is never settled. We will leave the studio one day and come back the next and it\u2019s impossible not to tinker with it. This is part of what makes it rewarding,\u201d Greenwell said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think you can feel pretty settled about something, then get a good night\u2019s sleep and come back and kind of reimagine or recalibrate. That\u2019s pretty normal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The give-and-take artistic aspects of the project make it impossible to put a completion date on it but also make the process very exciting, the pair said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA distinct feature of creative research is its open-endedness,\u201d Buffington said. \u201cMatt and I could never have anticipated many of the most compelling developments of this project to date.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Learn More<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.utc.edu\/enrollment-management-and-student-affairs\/admissions\/visit\">Visit UTC<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a
