Mixed Media / Architecture
Elgin Cleckley is a multi-modal artist creating architecture, visual art, installations, and exhibitions that support spatial justice in professional, academic, and community contexts based in Virginia.
During his Anderson Center residency, Elgin continued work on the installation/exhibition he began at MacDowell in fall 2022, which he calls “Brookes (Revisited).” The exhibition accurately visualizes and humanizes the iconic set of architectural drawings of the Brookes Slave Ship utilized by the British in the Transatlantic Slave Trade – immersing viewers in the reality of being aboard the vessel through models, drawings, and full-scale interactives.
Elgin participated in Creativity Lab at ArtReach in downtown Red Wing, where he shared his design skills and create 3D models with area youth.
