Masters Theses
Seven series of artworks; painted, drawn and performed.

The artworks discussed occur at the crossroads of these desires as enactions of futurity within the subjunctive mood.
Artificiality And The New Image: The Image Body, Liza H. Butts
Artificiality And The New Image: The Image Body, Liza H. Butts
Bachelor of Fine Arts Senior Papers

My thesis reflects all of the exploration I have done not only throughout graduate school but during my life. It has become a written book of my journey, demonstrated through the use of paint.
