Following The Turn: Mapping As Material Art Practice, Kyla Christine Brown
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Following the Turn: Mapping As Material Art Practice investigates my artistic practice and MFA research based in London, Ontario. This dossier of research elements includes: an extended artist’s statement, a documentation of artistic practice and development, and a selection of in-process and published exhibition reviews of contemporary artists’ work; in Chapters 1, 2, and 3 respectively. This written document is in part intended to work as a specific accompaniment to my thesis exhibition. In the body of the thesis I propose that a project-based and embodied material art practice can perform mapping of negotiated experiences of the city. Dealing with …

Ritual Process, Kevin A. Baer
University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
My art is a means for investigating the passage of time, the decay of physical things, and the truth of mortality.

I see a diminished reverence for the power of death in our culture, and through my work I aim to pay homage …

My belief is that the earthly body is separate from the soul and that our light energy returns to the cosmos. Energy will not cease …

Jewelry Inspired By Stem Cells, Nina Matsumoto
Honors Capstone Projects - All
The representation of living organisms has a long history in jewelry. Since jewelry is intended to be worn on the body, it has the faculty to materialize what typically remains unseen below our skin. Creating this body of work aims to entice public curiosity and educate them in current stem cell research, as it is a promising avenue of medicine that could cure many diseases, rather than treat their symptoms.
The jewelry I made is a glimpse into the body revealing microscopic stem cells, which are essential to our existence. Current research has shown the potential for immense advancement in …
