Thirty artists from the School of Art and Design will show photography, paintings, textiles, printmaking, digital prints, ceramics, pottery, sculpture and a variety of other mixed media at the 13th Faculty Biennial show Jan. 26-March 18 at the Edwin A. Ulrich Museum of Art.
The opening reception is 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 25.
Here are a few of the artists included in the exhibition.
John Boyd, professor of printmaking, will show a limited edition, hand-printed book emphasizing a shaped cover and back and incorporating a combination of copy machine transfers overprinted with intaglio images.
The work of Ron Christ, professor of painting, has been influenced by what he’s experienced, studied and documented during independent work in Italy.
The colors, textures and patterns of platters and vessels that David Hiltner creates are visual interpretations of rural Kansas. Hiltner is an assistant professor of ceramics.
Under potter and lecturer Marcia Scurfield’s touch, the fluid clay grows into form. "In the kiln’s fire fluidity becomes frozen," she says, thus the title to her stoneware pottery pitcher and bowl is "Fluid to Frozen."
The nature of the photographic process connects it directly to the real world, says Dale Strattman, WSU alumnus and adjunct faculty member. "However, when reality is filtered through the perception of the artist, it can be transformed into something more."
