Jocelyn Sowa presents works in digital photography and video formats, creating images and films that are autobiographical and focus on themes of gender and identity.

Master of Fine Arts Exhibition: Matt Voelker
Friday, November 20 – Saturday, December 12
Opening Reception: Thursday, November 19, 7:30 – 9 p.m.
Closed for Thanksgiving Break: Wednesday, November 25 – Saturday, November 28
Matt Voelker’s exploration of clay as a medium for dimensional illustrations results in eccentric worlds that juxtapose figures, objects and scenery. The sculpted objects are composed in these imagined worlds and then photographed with the final image serving as an illustration. Built on the concept of postmodern picture books, Voelker’s illustrations reposition the viewer’s relationship with the text. Admission is free.
