"Veracity and urgency are embedded in the materials they chose to handle, the images they chose to create, the subjects they chose to depict, and the structures they chose to build. What are the boundaries of identity? Are there new ways to depict the human body? How does one expand conventions and traditions? What does it mean to be radical? How does one structure freedom? How does one make the invisible visible? These students consider these, and other questions, through the disciplines of painting and sculpture, and the friction-filled histories and porous parameters of each."

Thank you to everyone who came to the opening and has shown support from near and far!
Below is an excerpt from my thesis statement. "My paintings, prints, and projections of fire are both/and: comforting/fearful, weightless/heavy, beautiful/destructive, sharp/soft, contained/unbound. You look at the images, through them, and then, like reflective glass, they begin to look back at you. Light vibrates, flutters, and shimmers through transparent fibers and thin layers of ink, oil paint, and fabric dye. The rocks, bones, flowers, feathers, and other natural artifacts that I depict reflect my impulse to collect and order the objects around me in an attempt to better understand them." -Emily Manning-Mingle's MFA Thesis |
