I especially love photographing other photographers. When photographing someone that is intimately aware of what happens on both sides of the camera, there's a whole different feeling to a shoot. Kelly was no exception to this, and the shoot was absolutely a blast with conversations that ranged from linguistics and accents to the relationship of photography in the scheme of art history. I hope the photographs speak for themselves. You can see Kelly's work on her flickr page.

"I Never Travel Anywhere in a Hurry" (April 2012 at Taylor University, Upland, IN)
by Alexander Moore & Melanie Hall
Sculptural & Sound Installation composed of wood, drywall, plaster, 4 channel audio track, and speaker system.
When we enter a new room, we mentally reduce familiar features to almost nothingness, as if we don’t really want to see our true surroundings. Brick walls, tile floors, and false ceilings. If we’ve seen these individually before, then have we seen them at all?
There is unique connection between physical objects and the relationships of humans. Through an intentional awareness with our surroundings, we can begin to examine what seems like the chaos of how people relate around us. Like the components of a room that we reduce do mental images, do we reduce the people around us to our mental images of who we think they should be? Especially those of other faiths? Or do we settle for our own ideas, misconceptions, or simply what we've heard?
The stories that are playing are told by believers of five distinct world religions: Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. Each person describes the faith that they possess.
"The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them."

These are my two sculpture entries in the Mitchel Art Show at Taylor University, representing much of my work from the last year. The first of the two works is titled "3" and is constructed from concrete, wood, and steel. The second is titled "7" and was selected as the third place entry in the sculpture section; this work was constructed from concrete block, tree stump, and plaster. I'd also like to thank the faculty for selecting me as the three-dimensional studio artist of the year.
