| Amalgamate: The Fine Arts BFA Senior Exhibition | 108 | Amalgamate: The Fine Arts BFA Senior Exhibition | Recitation Gallery | <p>​<em>Amalgamate</em> brings together disparate works by five graduating fine arts students in one thesis show. Featuring recent work by Madeline Cole, Lynn Marcus, Veronica Parcells, Blake Shuart and Daniel Swain, this exhibition exemplifies their experience of working together as a community of student artists–sharing ideas and studio spaces, critiquing each other's work, and taking classes together–an activity done together to develop individual voices.​<br></p><p>The work on view represents the hard work and discipline they used to learn skills in a range of media, think through disparate forms of making, and research and write to develop their personal voice. <strong>Madeline Cole's</strong> rotoscoped animation titled, <em>I Am Lucky</em>, draws from her personal life as a transracial adoptee. The paintings and illustrations of <em>Lynn Marcus</em> are inspired by close friends and people on social media that she is fascinated by. Her portraits seek to honor and respect each individual. Intentionally pushing the boundaries of discomfort and joy, <strong>Veronica Parcells'</strong> sculpture of a colossal clown puppet and metal spiders are inspired by horror and from her background in theater wig and makeup design. Humor and curiosity inform the ceramic and paper maché sculptures of <strong>Blake Shuart</strong>. His UFO installation is participatory; viewers are invited to peek inside the vessel to visit the world he has created. <strong>Daniel Swain's</strong> oil and acrylic paintings combine his interests in paleontology, cartography, botany and natural sciences with the imaginary worlds of video games and science fiction stories. <br></p> | 11/29/2021 2:00:00 PM | 12/11/2021 12:00:00 AM | | |
