Fine Arts Undergraduate Show

I've included work from my three favorite pieces in the show. 

Being a mother I have a special connection to these works. The hanging womb is by far the most powerful piece.

I really appreciated these works as well. I feel like majority of modern americans are disgusted by death. Living in a rural setting with livestock has caused me to become far less traumatized each time one of our animals dies. It sounds cold to most people, but you realize that death is just a part of life.

I really enjoyed these pieces, but the artist statement detracts from them. It feels more like a stream of consciousness written piece than an artist statement. The bronzed baby shoes with the screen print/cyanotype is my favorite of these works.

Nina Hole Fire Sculpture - Repose

I helped on the construction of the fire sculpture and was there for the unveiling. It is a beautiful piece that is heavily performance based. The strength of the work comes from watching it being built and then fired over the course of a month. The unveiling is especially powerful knowing that this piece was constructed posthumously. When they throw the salt and sawdust is the best part. I've included two videos of this. It's something that is just magical and that you have to experience.
