hwēol (wheel) was a one-night-only experience in which SHED’s upstairs—typically a private, domestic space—was opened to the public. This intimate installation transformed the home into a site of memory, ritual, and shared experience. Visitors were invited to step into the personal space, blurring the lines between art and life, public and private.

Presented in conjunction with A Lifetime of Drawing in the Year of the Snake by Charles T. Mayer, this performance honored the decades-long connection between Jon Gott and Charles—Jon’s former art teacher and lifelong mentor—offering a personal lens into the creative lineage that continues to shape SHED’s evolving practice.
