A Thread of Everything | Senior BFA Exhibition

March 23 – 26 | Gallery 100

Opening reception | March 24 | 5 – 7 p.m.

Presented in Gallery 100, “A Thread of Everything” is a BFA exhibition representing a threading convergence of cultural experiences, emotions, societal issues and familial memories. Each artist focuses on various artistic media that help convey the ideas or topics significant to their personal lives, especially derived from their own experiences. By recognizing and conveying these experiences, these artists bring a vivid and emotionally intense perspective of not only their artistic process, but of how they envision their worlds. 

Artists Annabella Abrams, Jacklyn Desmarais, Cynthia Galarza, Julissa Galdamez, Arin Kalu, Morgan Kerrigan, Yiyang Pu, Ailani Rodriguez and Rhiannon Sullivan present their variety of works based on personal interests, familial experiences and unprecedented struggles. Recurring themes in this exhibition include reflections on identity, hometown and cultural representation, mental and physical health struggles and abstractions of reality. Consisting mainly of paintings, drawings and sculptures, these reflections of emotional and physical worlds reveal what is most often taken for granted and, more so, how significant and long-lasting these impacts are.
