In my work I am drawn to locating moments in history - my own, American, the west and human - when things shifted from the mythos to the logos, the miraculous to the 结束了迷恋,无限变成了可量化的简化. In this current body of work I wanted to see that smoking iron-laden meteorite I saw fall from the Pleiades superimposed in the sky above Henry Behrman’s mercantile as it crashed 在殖民地肯塔基州的熟铁商品中.

Irene Carvajal Butterfly Effect

菠菜网lol正规平台 Faculty Irene Carvajal participates in the The Butterfly Effect, an art exhibition inside a textile factory in Mouzakis Greece.

According to chaos theory, the Butterfly Effect is when a small change in one part 一个复杂系统的失败可能会导致其他地方的重大后果. The Butterfly Effect exhibition adds yet another layer of meaning to the term, since it takes place “蝴蝶线-穆扎基斯”纺织厂的内部.”What makes this location even more remarkable is its historical significance, given its position 沿着古老的伊莱留斯奥秘游行路线. Its history and location 启发了41位艺术家,他们每个人都在不同的艺术媒介上工作. Their installations, pottery, and sculptures are integrated into the daily operations of the factory in a fusion of art and industry. Curated by Kostas Prapoglou & organised by artefact athens. 


james jenkinsJames Jenkins (MFA, SPATIAL '22) and his recent project, Cruz Cool, named one of the Best Inventions of 2023 by Time Magazine

Styrofoam takes over 500 years to decompose—and yet we still use it for insulation. The Cruz Cool cooler, which can insulate frozen goods for 48 hours, is made out of 几丁质,一种在真菌、昆虫和虾中发现的聚合物. But the real difference is how it’s produced. 通常情况下,环保的泡沫塑料替代品都很奇怪 shapes and sizes that flummox supply chains. Parent company Cruz Foam compounds the chitin with other ingredients into large flat pellets that feed into a partner’s current processing plant. 这就是克鲁兹泡沫公司与大西洋包装公司合作的原因, an industry leader.’


Megan HuddlestonMarisa Avila & Megan huddleston (BFA画报艺术)讨论了精神性的角色 plays in their art with 菠菜网lol正规平台 News Reporter Melany Gutierrez.

Marisa Avila (BFA Pictorial Art) says she believes this is important when she is using her art to embody her spiritual beliefs in relation to the natural world, “I have a tattoo of an eye on the back of my neck and I kind of feel like I'm being protected by it,” Avila said. “就像我的艺术作品中所有的眼睛都是保护实体 a way.” 


Megan Huddlestun (BFA Pictorial Art)  said she tends to extract fictional characters from classic western folklore and fairy tales, aspects of natural history and living organisms in nature as inspiration.  Huddlestun said these parts of her inspiration intricately fit together like webs to make what she likes to call a functioning and living document of her art.
