Catwalk Informed by a Priest included four sculptures with inset photographs - mixed-media works, reminiscent of theatrical sets with balconies, windows and catwalks - accompanied by a printed loose-leaf interview with Father McAlister, O.P., navigating his intertwined domestic and creative life with Dominican Catholic priest and sculptor Father Thomas McGlynn, O.P. The work was made in response to a year long observation of the Thomas McGlynn Sculpture Collection and Studio at Providence College, a collection curated by Father McAlister. Our interview was conducted inside a recreated Italian apartment on the grounds of Providence College, a replica of the original apartment he once lived in with Father McGlynn. The interview discusses the room, accurate within one half inch of the original, as a conduit for the sculptor's body; its domestic contents include intermingled possessions of Father McAlister, Father McGlynn, and prop objects belonging to neither person, but to the room as a fabricated stand-in. The exhibition was on view at Providence College Galleries from August 24 - October 8, 2016.
