Steven and William Ladd: Chapel
The Invisible Dog Art Center
Brooklyn, New York
September 12 – October 17, 2015
Curated by Steven and William Ladd
Chapel transformed The Invisible Dog Art Center into a space of quiet reflection and reverence. Drawing on vivid memories of our childhood confessional experiences, we created an immersive installation anchored by a freestanding confessional that visitors could enter—inviting stillness, contemplation, and emotional connection.
The show featured a spectrum of works including beaded glass panels inspired by stained glass, sculptural landscapes, and intricate drawings. The exhibition’s centerpiece, the confessional, was constructed using rich textiles and fabric trimmings sourced from The Invisible Dog itself. The doors were inlaid with our signature beaded panels, and a chandelier made of translucent glass beads—crafted in collaboration with The Corning Museum of Glass—illuminated the interior.
