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 |

Be somewhere | Habben, David | I've always been intrigued by the idea of creating motion within my work. Simple dynamics in composition or figure have failed to truly capture, from my perspective, the sense of fluidity that can be found so readily in other media, such as film and animation. It seems odd to be so concerned about i... | Art/Art History | 2017-05 |

Gather-piece-stitch: The art of place | Downen, Celine | 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... | Art/Art History | 2016 |

In my neighborhood: an installation | Hart, Allyn | My thesis installation, titled "In My Neighborhood," combined collage prints, paintings, and sculptural elements.

The art of the book | Powers-Torrey, Mary Noreen | These six books were produced between May 1999 and November 2000.

Rembrandt's landscapes: a study of visual language | Bradley, Juliette | Rembrandt van Rijn seems most well-known as a painter of histories and portraits.

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 |

Bodily housed | Perreault, Alison Marie | Exhibiting work has to do with communication. Like the Berkeley illustration of a tree falling in the forest, a receiver must be present in order for the sound to be heard. In the sharing of the work is the desire to communicate the experience. My Master of Fine Arts graduate exhibition consists of... | Art/Art History | 1999-05 |

Timepieces | Dow, Valarie | This work involves my exploration of the beauty of places and objects which contain a human history and illustrates my interest in the passing of time.

Language and fragmentation | Blundell, Simon Henry | As our environment becomes increasingly mediated, so does our experience. My work is a direct response to an overmediated enviroment.

Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol: two disparate American artistic identities shaped by the nature-machine dichotomy | Vergadavola, Salvatore F. | In 1942, in response to Hans Hofmann urging him to look outside himself and seek sublimity in nature Jackson Pollock replied, "I am nature," and later moved to The Springs, a rural area on Long Island, where in the isolation of his bam/studio created his signature hand-poured canvases. Two decades ... | Art/Art History | 2004-12 |

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.

The symbolic image and its relation to Christianity and morality in contemporary painting | Hoeft, David William | Weakening moral standards and the increasing speed and distractions of contemporary life have contributed to the diminished capacity of individuals within Western society to feel and comprehend more deeply.

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 |

Onchi Koshiro and individualism in Japanese woodblock printing | Dee, David L. | By the turn of the twentieth century, the vitality of the traditional woodblock print industry in Japan had dissipated.
