Mr. Solus is a multi-disciplinary artist making work that moves between sculpture, drawing, video and sound art. He utilized the space at Surel's Place to develop and record a video and sound installation and performance piece focused on the intersection of human and non human ecologies. Specifically themed by the juxtaposition of "insects and engines,” Mr. Solus created a visual and aural tapestry from field recordings and video footage captured around Surel's Place, the Boise River and surrounding Garden City. Private 30-minute viewings are available by booking a $10 online appointment. Originally from Salt Lake City, Mr. Solus has maintained a lifelong passion for artistic practice. He studied music and visual art at Salt Lake Community College before moving to Southeastern Idaho where in 2015 he earned his Bachelor of Art in painting and sculpture from Idaho State University. He moved to Boise in 2015 after being accepted to Boise State University Master of Fine Art Program. In 2018 he graduated with an MFA focused in installation and sound. He has exhibited locally and regionally in several group and juried exhibitions as well as having three solo shows. This residency fits into his current work exploring issues related to infrastructure and ecology, envisioning a future coexistence with non humans- including insects.
