  • A collection of framed digital photographs on a red wall above red lounge seating

    Suite of 10 Prints, Charles Wiese (1995)

    A set of 10 iris digital ink prints by Charles Wiese. The prints were made with an Iris printer, a large-format color inkjet printer introduced by Iris Graphics. Iris printers were among the first able to produce high-quality output.

    These pieces are located on the second floor of the Sugar Land Academic Building.

  • Metalic sculpture with trees and building in the background

    Pastoral, Lin Emery (2011)

    This 15-foot-tall kinetic sculpture stands outside of Brazos Hall. It is made out of polished aluminum and stainless steel ad moves in the wind. It utilizes a sophisticated system of bearings to ensure smooth and random movement within the individual parts. The leaflike forms seem to disappear in the sky and will reflect the surrounding brick, concrete and trees, while at the same time reflecting the sun’s light against the ground and building.

    This piece is located in front of Brazos Hall.

  • Group of 14 Torch Drawings, Helen Altman (2001-2012)

    This collection of drawings were made by using a blow torch as a drawing tool, scorching lines into paper, creating soft and remarkably detailed images of Texas animals.

    These pieces are located on the first floor of Brazos Hall.

  • A collection of framed digital ink prints on a blue wall

    Suite of 10 Digital Photographs, Donna Reidland Bourret (1995)

    A set of 10 chromogenic prints by Donna Reidland Bourret. Chromogenic prints, also know as type C photographs or C-type prints, can be made from a digital image via a chromogenic process.

    These pieces are located on the second floor of the Sugar Land Academic Building.

  • Too Much To Say, Lance Letscher (2014)

    Texas artist Lance Letscher searches thrift stores, junk shops, and used bookstores for old ledgers, notebooks, diaries, handwritten lists, letters, and recipe cards as material for his meticulous collages. His collages reference memory, personal histories and ultimately create disjointed narratives in the process.

    This collage on masonite is on the first floor of the Sugar Land Academic Building.

  • Sculpted piece of metal hanging from a ceiling

    Brazos Trace, Liz Ward, Rob Ziebel, Anthony Thompson Shumate (2006)

    The inspiration for Brazos Trace is the Brazos River, a major geographical feature adjacent to the campus. The curving panels of the piece create the visual effect of a river descending through the atrium space. The riverlike panels are patterned with images relating to the cultural and natural history of the Brazos.

    This piece is located in the atrium of the George Building.
