Corey was an undergrad at Montana State when I was a grad student. He was never under my direct supervision, but we spent a lot (and I mean a lot!) of time in the studio together. This is funny since our work is nothing alike.
His work can seem to be a little dark to the novice viewer and expert viewer alike and it is that dark. He may not want to admit it, but he's actually one of the nicest guys that I have ever worked with (constant Slayer music at high decibels was a problem at some times, but Radiohead was probably was a likewise problem).
He has stuck to his vision and that says a lot! I am proud of his hard work!
Corey was also part of the four man team that created the massive installation entitled "Waste" in the Waller-Yoblonsky Gallery in Bozeman. 3 months of collecting and 13 grueling days of installing, one great opening night, 7 days open to public, and 2 hours to strike. Other contributors were H.J. Mooij, Craig van den Bosch and Aaron Hauck.
All materials were collected from a furniture factory's dumpster in Four Corners, Montana beneath the Spanish Peaks. See more at www.aaronhauck.com
