"Curved But Linear," an MFA thesis exhibition by Matthew Baral, is a demonstration of repetitive form born from biophilia and an obsession with efficiency. As the artist struggles with his own obsessive-compulsive disorder, he strives to resolve internal conflict by imposing order and organization on his work. Organic patterns emerge when construction follows nature’s rules of fractal dimensioning. Some forms are curved organically and others are curved as an accumulation of linear elements.

"Lesser Saints" is a solo MFA exhibition by Maggie Pierce which examines systems of power and value through anthropomorphization, interaction and empathy. The body of work presented includes image, installation, works on paper, found objects and sound. It arose from a practice of collection, accumulation and documentation. The goal of this practice has been to develop a sensitivity to the agency of things through noticing and engaging with everyday materials, particularly those which have reached the end of utility.
