2007 McNeese National Works On Paper Exhibition Award Recipient
"Anyone who knows us would know that humor is a good way to get our attention. In what may be the most straight forward piece in the show, Cody adds lettering to a small brown bag to announce – I Like Nice Things." -Anne Wilkes Tucker

2006 New American Paintings "I’m not altogether sure that modernism has simply gone away or been put on the art historical shelf. The itch behind my current uncertainty stems in particular from an installation, A Temporary Space Alteration. He explores spatial perception via drawing and by paring the medium to its essentials, offering an esthetic experience that is detached and utterly self-sufficient." -Carl Belz

2005 Art Papers "Mailbox series is a post-studio investigation into drawing as a document and product of itself. The resulting pieces are hauntingly poetic variations on a grid that evoke a private world were the drawings' process is only partially accessible to the viewer." -Susan Richmond
