Theses and Dissertations
This thesis examines the ways in which Potosí's two most influential colonial artists represented the urban dynamics of race, class and labor in their depictions of the Andean 'City of Silver' during the eighteenth century, when silver production, profits and population were dramatically declining.

CGU MFA Theses
My work explores the nature of interiority and exteriority, the relationship between the centered inner self and the peripheral, the physicality of occupying the inside of a space or viewing that space from the outside.
Rethinking Live-Work In The Arts Industry & Arts Districts, Adriana Ghersi
Rethinking Live-Work In The Arts Industry & Arts Districts, Adriana Ghersi
Architecture Senior Theses
Living, working, and collaborating in the same integrated environment engenders attachment to and pride in that place, resulting in the enrichment of both the quality of one's place of living and place of work. As a demonstration of this principle, the thesis proposes an intervention prototype designed to consolidate and preserve the essence of the art districts by preventing emerging artists' displacement. This new live/work/collaborate typology strives to aggregate positive outcomes from different approaches to similar uses. The result will be to improve to what is currently an inherently deficient typology. The test site for this intervention is the emergent …

More Is The Same
Chairperson: Associate Professor Trey Hill
More is the Same is the result of my examination of the perception of space in relation to architecture and landscape. By embracing modern concepts of the grid, formalism and design, this compilation of personal experiences and memories, manifests as post-minimal sculptures. However, when considering the hierarchy of importance in my work this involves pure visual perception over any specific narrative. The final product is an exhibition which elicits a perceptual experience for its viewer.
My work is about space and the creation of visual interactions, …
