Katherine Groesbeck ‘11
H/D +Projects is proud to present Sever by Katherine Groesbeck. Part art installation and part performance, Sever creates a whimsical space occupied by players delineating between memory and nostalgia, reality and nonentity.

“I will not merely say that this story is true: because, as you will soon see, it is all truth and no story. It has no explanation and no conclusion; it is, like most of the other things we encounter in life, a fragment of something else which would be intensely exciting if it were not too large to be seen.” -G.K. Chesterton, The Secret of a Train

Groesbeck’s installation creates a tension between our perception of the present and her recollection of a past, amplifying the important signifiers while other information is left out. The characters in her work perform tasks of a surreal nature to create a complex and illusory experience.

Max Fulton ‘08
 After graduating from Lewis & Clark in 2008 with a B.A. in art history and English, I spent a year in New York City where I divided my time between working as an analyst at a boutique private equity firm and providing project management and writing support to an assortment of non-profit organizations in the sports, healthcare, and media sectors. My background in art history enabled me to provide art direction on a number of web and print marketing campaigns. In 2010, I returned to Portland to pursue an M.A. in English at Portland State University, concentrating on the British Romantics and their successors.
