The project was designed and constructed by the students of a Georgia State University Graduate Seminar class - Mark T. Errol, Jeshua W. Holt, Laura M. Martin - and instructor Mike Wsol.

His current projects take the form of interactive sculpture, computer-generated models, photographs, drawings and renderings. Wsol earned a Masters in Architecture degree from the University of Georgia, a MA in Sculpture and a BA in Sculpture from Eastern Illinois University. He now teaches three-dimensional Studies at Georgia State University.
Guide
Mike Wsol | 2019
The Guide is formed from speculating about the complex interconnections between industrial remnants, architecture, the environment, and people. Industrial tanks and architectural relics become vessels, like pottery, that contain potential. Guide asks the viewer to contemplate the vastness of where we are in time and space, right from where we are in time, in place.
