How To Forget, Jesse D. Hoyle
How To Forget, Jesse D. Hoyle
Theses and Dissertations
How To Forget was born from a need to give tangible form to the psychic residue left behind by a life lived. Through the use of silk-screening of red clay mud onto ink-jet photographs, archival textiles, and site-specific installations, I attempt to tie and/or divorce myself from my own and my family's extended history and examine the function of memory within the dynamics of the archive. How To Forget takes a non-linear, non-chronological approach to this examination, compressing decades of time and space through the manipulation of the archive and my own self-portraiture, designed specifically to deny myself from its …

The Quads, Elmer D. Guevara
Theses and Dissertations
My work attempts to reconcile my familial history. By reconstructing narratives, I am advancing a new sense of our family archive.

The Wild Beasts, Peter Cochrane
The Wild Beasts, Peter Cochrane
Theses and Dissertations
The Wild Beasts springs from my desire to thank my ever-expanding queer chosen family and mentors for their strength.

These environments speak both to the character of each friend and also to …

Traces Of Existence, Jayna Brown Quinn
Traces Of Existence, Jayna Brown Quinn
Theses and Dissertations
This project report accounts for my final MFA project, Traces of Existence. This body of work began as an exploration, partially borne of the love of genealogical research translated into visual art by exploring the things my ancestors touched, be it ephemera, the soil they lived on, or artifacts they left behind, and partly as a pathway through which I could learn to understand more about my own identity, all the while finding beauty in the mundane. Although the works are personal, it is my hope that the viewer will respond to them in his/her own way, and that …
