In the gallery next to Tucker's work at Texas State, is a show entitled House Lamps by Colby Bird. All of the students in my 2D Design class agreed that it is beautiful. It consists of 100 handmade lamps from found objects and found materials that light your way back and forth along a path, emphasizing the glowing wholeness of the room as much as each inventively designed lamp. There is a great interview with the artist by Katie Geha in Glasstire, where Bird talks about the comfort he found in going to the studio each day to make one of these lamps.
Both of these shows are worth the trip down to San Marcos!
