Wet, Flowering, Dry, Caroline A. Minchew
Wet, Flowering, Dry, Caroline A. Minchew
Theses and Dissertations
Wet, flowering, dry is a series of photographic works that explore how vernal pools are a macrocosm for holding memory and a site of omnipresent solitude and decay. This installation distills an embodied and ephemeral experience of how we are grounded in a network of invisible connections with our surroundings. This network becomes evident through biological, historical, and field research conducted at the vernal pools for over a year. Through slow observation and consideration of how multiple stories of place can weave together into a larger parable, Wet, flowering, dry reveals how the life cycle of a vernal pool is …

The Silent Rage Of Being Loved, Michelle R. Albertson
Theses and Dissertations
The Silent Rage of Being Loved is a multimedia installation working primarily with photography, video, and sculpture. It explores the nuanced ways in which memory, grief, and veneration manifest physically in my life through objects and my body.

Theses and Dissertations

Authors such as Marcel Proust and William Faulkner used …
