Biography
Joseph Herring, chair of the Department of Art and Design and professor, teaches art and design.
Herring is co-founder and co-director of House Pencil Green, a chimeric creative studio that shape-shifts at times into a design studio; at other times into a performance art troupe; at other times into a house of carnivalesque fashion; and at other times into a traveling interstate fair. House Pencil Green produces immersive, often chaotic environments. The work blends intense color, unconventional materials, found objects, and personal memorabilia into a playful aesthetic that blurs the lines between high and low culture and fosters unexpected connections between the everyday and the absurd.
Degrees & Institutions
Herring received a bachelor of fine arts from Washington University in St. Louis, and a master of fine arts from ArtCenter College of Design.
