Several Houses, Anthony L. Cudahy
Several Houses, Anthony L. Cudahy
Theses and Dissertations
Within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the thinking that informed my painting practice fixated on the purgatorial temporal space of waiting, a questioning of utopian and apocalyptic impulses, and the preservation of deceased artists' archives.

Some Way In Between, Noah D. Stitt
Some Way In Between, Noah D. Stitt
Theses and Dissertations
Merging the subjective and objective through paintings and small objects, my work uses humor, subtlety, and suspension to create specifically ambiguous images that encourage a narrative reading.
Out Of Place, Jonathon T. Laufersweiler
Out Of Place, Jonathon T. Laufersweiler
Theses and Dissertations
The process of disorientation creates a position or effect of being “out of place.” When feeling out of place, we enter a liminal space. My work is the practice of placing myself within this transitional space made up of lines, symbols, and passageways, where perception is slanted and ultimately, collapses. I am confronting and questioning my own sense of direction, locating myself within this liminal space between what was and what is — a place of not knowing.
Judith Leyster: A Study Of Extraordinary Expression, Nicole J. Cardinale
Judith Leyster: A Study Of Extraordinary Expression, Nicole J. Cardinale
Theses and Dissertations
Judith Leyster’s innovative application of expression in her Self Portrait serves as the focus, whereby she is shown to blend conventional painting categories, preserve a sense of innocence, and confidently flaunt her skills. In turn, Leyster challenged the male-centric art market and stood apart from her artistic predecessors and contemporaries.

Don't Forget Me, I Can't Hide It, Thomas H. Morrill
Don't Forget Me, I Can't Hide It, Thomas H. Morrill
Theses and Dissertations
Memory, technology, and space are the metaphorical and material players in my work. The video represents an emerging consciousness stuck in a nostalgia-laced, self-referential, emotive loop. It weighs the probability of its experience of life as solipsism. The walls are facsimiles of walls.
Bitter Fruit, Ronald J. Green
Bitter Fruit, Ronald J. Green
Theses and Dissertations
Pain is a phenomenon like fear, belief, and love -- among the forces that determine the course of our lives long before we are born. These conditions generate the layers of the human soul, marrying one life with others past, present and future.
There is an unconscious consensus on the linearity of time. Our lives, memories, dreams and reflections constantly present a challenge to this general agreement. Life, like time, is a series of interlocking awarenesses. Paths intersect, the actions of individuals deposit change into an internal pool of collective experience. Freud once believed that the past is not fixed …
The Potency Of Emptiness, Kennedy L. Bailey
The Potency Of Emptiness, Kennedy L. Bailey
Theses and Dissertations
I investigate language and neurology by integrating intangible personal experiences with painted manifestations of rupture within structures. I utilize a hyperbolic translation of white and black to investigate the dismantling of a structure as an explicit quotation of space, matter, existence, and mind.

Who's Mess?, Jordan Stohl
Theses and Dissertations
Sculpture, Video and Painting have become tools for mediating a hyperactive society fetishizing sensory overload.
Mother Is How I Got Down Pat, Kyrae Dawaun
Mother Is How I Got Down Pat, Kyrae Dawaun
Theses and Dissertations
This essay gathers concepts of matriarchal studies, theatre and hospitality in thinking beyond the contemporary venue of painting. Recognizing the limits of fine arts, as it is today, a product of a patriarchal, capitalistic societal structure, in its service to an inclusive, public sphere, my work is insistent on the value of installation. Accessibility to space (the art space), language, and the right to politics are goals inspiring the evolved features in my studio practice. The use of word is central in my study of our human behaviors as they can be best modeled according to the appreciation of mother(ing). …
