Art + Design Masters Theses
This exhibition examines the phenomenon of social media and how it has been one of the most rapid expansions in how people communicate. I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri during the 1990s and the early 2000s. During this time, I experienced the beginning of online messaging platforms such as AOL Instant Messenger, MySpace, and Facebook.

Turning And Turning, Nicola Stephanie
Theses and Dissertations
This paper explores Nicola Stephanie’s works in painted and shaped canvas, which investigate sensation and visual awareness of motion.

Will Wonders Never Cease: Jess’S Translations, 1959-1976, Lily Goldberg
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis examines Jess’s series of Translations paintings (1959-1976). It argues that, in subject matter, painterly technique, and conceptual approach, the works are shrewdly self-referential and grapple with many of the primary concerns of postwar American art, questions of appropriation, authorship, figuration versus abstraction, and selfhood and identity.

The Potency Of Emptiness, Kennedy L. Bailey
Theses and Dissertations
I investigate language and neurology by integrating intangible personal experiences with painted manifestations of rupture within structures. I utilize a hyperbolic translation of white and black to investigate the dismantling of a structure as an explicit quotation of space, matter, existence, and mind.

Through painting I seek to claim the gutter-line experience of non-location, articulating feelings that have migrated and keep on migrating. This paper describes my own looking for the presence of something that titillates and invites curious attention but always remains partially obscure.
