  • Shelly McCoy & Mario Rodriguez: We're Fucked
    2022/10/03

    Shelley McCoy’s work in general is experimental in nature, ranging from mixed media relief to three-dimensional objects, and comprises a wide range of materials from the traditional color pencils to the non-traditional asphalt, as in her most recent work. Shelly’s interest in construction and remodeling have influenced her choice of materials in her art. Industrial supplies, such as rubber, tar, cement, thin-set, roofing shingles, resin, grout, wax, ceramic tile, and spray insulation have been used in her work. Exploring these materials out of context has always held a fascination for her.

    Mario Rodriguez is a self-titled “jack of all trades” within The CAMP Gallery; be it artist relations, submissions for new projects, curation, or social media, he has had a hand in one way or another on most facets of the gallery. Pulling from his undergraduate education at Tulane University, Mario hopes to provide a perspective that honors the academic underpinnings of The CAMP Gallery’s curation style, while also applying a business mindset to the gallery’s development and wellbeing. Ultimately, he finds that any opportunity he gets within his role at The CAMP to better both the gallery and the artists that it serves to be fulfilling and worthwhile.
