FROM NOW ON: BFA 2021 Video Tour

FROM NOW ON features work by eight artists about to complete their Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in the Department of Art. With a nod to the uncanny valley, Matt Fistler’s videos and animations explore perception and consciousness through universal symbolism. Deeply influenced by storytelling, Ricky Ford creates images and objects that prod the complexities behind the metaphysical. Liz Hilliard’s paintings and objects echo the material manifestation of collective political ideologies. Using sustainable materials and processes, Madelyn Kapheim’s sculptural installations critique how animacy affects our perception of the natural world. Grounded by an interest in liminality, Holly Kilander creates a lexicon of shapes and colors that oscillate between painting and soft sculpture. Through imagined scenarios of beauty, indulgence, and desire, Micky Kurtzman’s paintings act as a portal for escapism. In an effort to disentangle the social divisiveness that surrounds us, Morvant creates mixed media works that celebrate our universal necessities and aspirations. Envisioning poetry as sculpture, Zoe Rogers mediates on the construction of self and the dualisms that attempt to shape it. Learn more about the exhibition.
