Presented by the UO Center for Art Research CFAR Banner at 510 Oak Terry Haggerty: Finding Space
On View: May through August 2025 Location: 510 Oak Street, Eugene, OR 97401
Finding Space is a shaped vinyl banner inviting viewers to experience a duality of perspective. In this composition, two linear structures recede from a shared central point, oscillating simultaneously between two and three dimensions. This deliberate manipulation of perspective challenges the viewer’s spatial understanding and disrupts the predictable geometry of the urban environment. By subverting the conventional rectangular format of a banner, the drawn form becomes a visual anomaly by creating a momentary rupture in the visual language of the cityscape. Its suspended state suggests a transient presence, a form caught between definition and placement. This work functions as a temporary intervention, holding a moment of spatial ambiguity captive within the ongoing construction of the city.
Terry Haggerty (b. 1970 in London, United Kingdom) studied at the Southend School of Art, Essex, United Kingdom and received his Bachelor of Arts at the Cheltenham School of Art, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom.
