C.T. Hankins is an Indianapolis artist who uses photography and sculpture to produce interactive artwork. A Bit of Me in You is an expansion of the installation he created for the Raymond James Stutz Art Gallery in October 2015.
The form is a wall made up of thin, rectangular mirrors. The artist has left a number of empty spaces in the wall, so that the viewer can interact with other viewers on the opposite side of the wall; seeing another person’s face where one would expect to see one’s own creates a startlingly intimate, if temporary, relationship between strangers.
This sculpture was first featured in the Indianapolis Arts Center’s summer 2016 hosting of Primary Colours’ annual Installation Nation exhibition of temporary outdoor art, and was featured in the 2017 ArtPrize public art exhibition in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Hankins had won a fierce competition among local artists for funding to bring the piece there. It is currently on view at Shortridge High School.
