This project takes the history, design, use, and secondary market of fetishized mid-late 20th century outdoor recreation gear as its starting point. Inspired by the legacy of  Bill Moss, a fiber artist turned tent designer, we drew upon the plans, advertisements, and ebay postings for Moss Tents to create an immersive installation of deconstructed tent forms. Moss Tents have become highly sought after fetish objects in recent years, and we use their form to consider the instrumentalization of design capitalist fantasies of the outdoors.

This project is a collaboration with Meredith Laura Lynn. The artworks in this exhibition were created with support from the Current Art Fund grant, a granting program organized and administered by Tri-Star Arts as a partner in the Regional Regranting Program of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. The project was shown at COOP gallery in Nashville, TN in April 2024.
