| 26 |  | Dormiens vigils (while sleeping, watch) | Webster, Maryann S. | Dreams about a disappearing ecosystem and an increasing awareness of the fragile nature of our existence inspired the eighteen works in this exhibition. These works express a deepened concern through understanding of life and nature as fragile, precious and sacred. I have interpreted the gallery s... | Art/Art History | 2001-05 |
| 27 |  | The endurance of memory | Charles, James | My Master of Fine Arts exhibition consisted of nine prints and five mixed-media paintings. A variety of print making techniques were used. Photographic elements were incorporated with a Xerox-transfer method. The mixed-media paintings were done with traditional and nontraditional materials. My ... | Art/Art History | 1998-03 |
| 28 |  | Ephemeral Tea | Thomas Betts | As Tom Betts researches his ontology through the creative act of art a hyperrealist oil painting is produced that alludes to society's consumption of time in an age where temporal states of awareness and interaction are governed by technology. He uses the subject of a teacup, a family heirloom that ... | 2010 | |
| 29 |  | Evolutionary Intuition | Kent J. Barton | This body of work is the result of exploring new directions. The desire to push and to open myself to new information has always been my driving force. Making these forms required me to work and think about clay in a different way, building on my vocabulary with the material. Producing this series m... | 2002 | |

| 31 |  | Exhaling the earth | Hedrick, Antonia | My Master of Fine Art exhibit consisted of nine translucent, fiberglass body shells installed with seven graduated photographs, four sculptural briefcases, five oil on canvas paintings, and 40 home-made artifacts in plexiglass boxes. I completed this chronology of works during two years of gradua... | Art/Art History | 1997-06 |
| 32 |  | Exploration of the art object | DeCola, Jacob Nicholas | I am a sculptor who works with materials, an object maker concerned with both physical and conceptual process. A critical part of my method of working is to allow a record of this process to exist in the finished sculptures. Perhaps the most difficult and rewarding part of my graduate experien... | Art/Art History | 2001-08 |
| 33 |  | Factitious | Lewis J. Crawford | This paper is a journey into how I discovered the word factitious and re-defmed it for my artistic practice. I have broken down the paper into four different chapters that explore and explain this process. "Narrative Is Necessary," the first chapter, discusses the history of my research on narrati... | Art/Art History | 2009-05 |

| 35 |  | The four graces | Ashby, M. Grace | The Four Graces is the culmination of two years of graduate work in the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Utah. All but three pieces in my MFA exhibit were inspired by early- to mid-Twentieth-Century photography. It was the space and the placement of the figures that I wanted t... | Art/Art History | 2004-12 |
| 36 |  | Four stage & 3 months in-between | Romo, Vanessa | Time stops right before change occurs. As you cease to exist in your usual state of mind, you find yourself alone, reflecting, and ask what lies ahead? This sliver in time feels like a terminal. Years pass and you move far from the moment you thought was the death of newness. It becomes a distant pa... | Art/Art History | 2017-07 |
| 37 |  | Gather-piece-stitch: the art of place | Downen, Céline | Philosopher Gaston Bachelard celebrates the "naive wonder we used to feel when we found a nest. This wonder is lasting, and today when we discover a nest it takes us back to our childhood or, rather, to a childhood; to the childhoods we should have had." I use the nest as a metaphor in my art with t... | Art and Art History | 2016 |
| 38 |  | Ghosts, Storytelling and Ominous Figures | Candace von Hoffman | This final project paper reflects my graduate research based in my experience of growing up in Alabama, my family's involvement in White supremacist systems in the American South, and critical Whiteness. In the past two years, the arts-based research I have completed in pursuit of my MFA has examine... | 2021 | |
| 39 |  | Growing Pains | Hannah Nielsen | As an artist, I was also raised to love and revere painting, and I carry a passion for it. However, as I have grown and read, and gained a stronger appreciation for feminist and outsider art, craft has become a second passion that informs my practice. There is a thematic conflict here that reflects ... | 2021 | |
| 40 |  | Hand to mouth | Ramachandran, Sylvia Meena | Just as we make tools to try to overcome our limitations, we make gestures to try to connect with people and things beyond ourselves. In this exhibition, I consider the utensil as a poetic extension of the body. The work follows a decade of contemplating the meaningfulness of daily tasks and of th... | Art/Art History | 2006-08 |
| 41 |  | The hat people | Kimball, Patricia | The paintings in this exhibit are the result of two years of exploration dealing initially with landscape and then primarily with the figure. Looking back, the challenges were similar regardless of subject: first, how to expand the subject beyond an "objective" reality more or less faithfully r... | Art/Art History | 2001-05 |
| 42 |  | Herbarium obscura: shadow of nature | Rivera, Nancy E. | Nature is ephemeral, fragile, and wild. Over time, we have learned to tame and control it: We grow lawns, cultivate houseplants, and manufacture synthetic facsimiles of nature for aesthetic and ornamental purposes. In this way and more, we manipulate how we experience and understand it. In my exhibi... | Art/Art History | 2016 |
| 43 |  | Iconography of the trail | Brunvand, Sandra Lynne | A focusing element in my work is to confront the theme of life and death and how this dichotomy could be cast as metamorphoses of states of being. In many ways this is such a fundamental theme of our existence as to be at once too simple and too pervasive to be fully comprehended. As I co... | Art/Art History | 2004-12 |
| 44 |  | Identifying as Monsters | Holly Rios | The monsters in my work are not monsters by a traditional understanding, but rather utilize monstrosity as a tool of disruption to interrogate the male gaze. This body of work surveys feminine construction, exploitation, and the male gaze through divisive media. Intentionally sourcing imagery from t... | 2023 | |
| 45 |  | Improvisational structure | Hixon-Longaker, Victoria | I believe archetypal rhythms create life cycles and are manifest in the emotional, philosophical, and physical world. This environment is continuously churned by forces both positive and negative. My work is a direct response to this environment and its impact on the human experience. The power o... | Art/Art History | 1996-06 |
| 46 |  | In my neighborhood: an installation | Hart, Allyn | My thesis installation, titled "In My Neighborhood," combined collage prints, paintings, and sculptural elements. The installation was loosely based on the structure of an ideal 1950's suburban American home. Found objects played a prominent role in both two- and three-dimensional constructions. ... | Art/Art History | 1996-08 |
| 47 |  | InAppropriate | Eric Erekson | The subject I have chosen, the naked/nude, is relatable to most people. It brings to the foreground ethical questions that stir public dialog, wanted or not. The naked and the nude figure are unavoidably connected to us by nature, and then confused by the stresses of social, cultural, economic, and ... | 2014 | |
| 48 |  | Intersection | Dolberg, Daniel Glen | The unifying theme that runs throughout the paintings in my MFA show is that of space versus form. Light versus darkness and the interaction and relativity of color are secondary themes that I explore in my paintings. The subject matter I have chosen to explore in-depth is the architectural form o... | Art/Art History | 2005-12 |
| 49 |  | Interstices: On Reconciliation with the Natural World | Eric Robertson | 2021 | ||
| 50 |  | The Interviews | Nolan Flynn | Through the combination of inquisitive mark-making and active painting techniques, my work lives as a visual record of the excitement and emotions I feel when I'm making art. While at the moment of creation, notations reflecting on the experience of painting coexist, while speaking different visual ... | 2019 |
