"Sprawl" was a site-specific installation by Venessa Monokian at the Houston Center for Photography, expanding on her ongoing body of work, "As the Glow Grows". Engaging the entire gallery, hand-cut photographs transformed into vines that crawled up the walls, surrounded the artworks, and extended into the rafters. This immersive installation explored the engulfing nature of the air potato vine, allowing its invasive growth to take over the exhibition space.
