Student exhibition Vitality of Memories on display at The U
A Bachelor of Fine Arts thesis exhibition, “Vitality of Memories,” includes sculpture and painting artworks. Runia, a fine arts major with an emphasis in ceramics from Lake Norden, S.D., showcases her work in coil and slabs to create experimental forms originating from the same structure. In creating these forms, Runia emphasizes the different, daily emotions people exude each day. Tobin, meanwhile, is a fine arts major with an emphasis in sculpture from Winner, S.D. His subtractive stone works explore shape, form and light. Letsche, a fine arts major with an emphasis in painting from Marcus, Iowa, works in oil and charcoal. Her use of paint explores emotions, memories, and aged or forgotten symbols.
Viewing hours for “Vitality of Memories” are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends. A reception for the students is scheduled for Friday, Dec.17 at 7 p.m. in the Main Gallery, which is open to the public at no cost.
