The Bachelor of Fine Arts Portfolio, is led this semester by Associate Professor Laura Mongiovi. Artist Savanna Eleanoire Jones is exhibiting whole ceramic sculptures that have shattered, and pieced back together, that stand as an allegory for brokenness, perseverance and subsequent healing. Adrian Gonzalez’s installation explores his interest in the conflation of commercial and religious dogmas, and how those concepts can dominate personal perceptions and “work in tandem to sell salvation.” Nicki Smith’s utilizes latex, paint and ink sculptures to make organically shaped sculptures, resembling organs and biological systems. April Webb has created textile objects and performative videos that examine domesticity, in an attempt to reconcile her identity as a mother and feminist. Maria Toto’s observational paintings focusing on everyday moments and spaces, become a catalyst in which to reflect her own humanity, and subsequent sense of spirituality.

Under the guidance of Associate Professor Sara Pedigo, the Bachelor of Arts exhibition will include painting, printmaking, sculpture, mixed media, installation and video by BA candidates Bonn Antonetti, Alex Barnes, Rachel Blankenship, Andrea Broaderick, Lauren Gonzalez, Stephanie Harlow, Amanda Jones, Veronika Wright.
