“Follow Through” represents 11 years of careful planning and meticulous work by Adam Hinterlang and Peter Morgan coming to fruition. The exhibition contains individual works by both artists as well as their collaborative tile pieces. The works of Ceramicist/Conceptual Artist, Peter Morgan, are an exploration of the world through the investigation of location, representation, perception, taxonomy, and language. In contrast, Adam Hinterlang’s practice is rooted in mark making. He employs drawing, computer animation, and sound to create his unique biomorphic creations. What is most important to both artists is their collaborative project known as, “Wildlife Fashion Art.”
“Wildlife Fashion Art” began in the summer of 2005 as a collaboration between the dynamic duo. With few obligations and plenty of free time, the two toiled away on this project, which was to be their “get rich quick scheme.” The original principle was to take the most “fashionable” and “trendy” colors of the day and apply them to silhouetted images of animals in action poses. This project brought together the artists’ interests in both animals and color theory, and though Anthropologie never licensed their work to create a line of purses (as they had hoped), it continues to spark their imagination.
