From Air Force to art: Brandi Hamilton’s tools tell a story

Space may be the final frontier, but for artist Brandi Hamilton, a career in satellite communications was the doorway to a universe of creativity. Hamilton’s latest exhibition, “Material Intelligence,” at the Bricolage Gallery in Lumberton draws on her career in the Air Force and her connection to the tools and objects that define human existence. The exhibition is divided into two sections, “Technicians of Meaning” and “Workshop Grammar.” “Technicians of Meaning” was first shown at the Dishman in 2021 as part of Hamilton’s BFA senior thesis. However, she said the COVID-19 pandemic hit and few people saw it. “This is work I did while still in school and wanted to show it again,” she said. “I thought of reworking some of the images since I hope, you know, I'm a better artist and can see things better.” RELATED: Art Crawl offers a look inside Beaumont's creative community “Workshop Grammar” will feature photography on encaustic. Some images are printed on metal. “A lot of it is photography of the tools and the inside of this building itself, as parts of what I inherited from my uncle.” she said. “He was a construction guy.

Lumberton ISD responds to failure of tax rate election

LUMBERTON — Lumberton ISD is responding to voters rejecting the tax rate election, saying it's disappointed and will have to evaluate financial options.
