One Two One, Brianna Morgan Ozanne 2017 Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College

One Two One, Brianna Morgan Ozanne

LSU Master's Theses

These things, they speak in whispers. Come close, lean in, listen up. Whisper back. Tell me everything. I know you’ve been here, too. I know you’ll understand. I know you have a shoebox full of memories just like these hidden deep inside your closet. I know.


Baby's Day Out, Andrea Nicole Berg 2017 Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College

Baby's Day Out, Andrea Nicole Berg

LSU Master's Theses

Baby's Day Out explores the world through a phenomenological newness that is expressed within abstract figurative painting.

Everythingsfine, Reanna Schultz

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers

Disarming discomfort through irony, material, and absurdity is at the center of my practice. I chose to describe my efforts of coping through installation instead of objects because I desire to create an immersive experience for viewers. Using a broadly recognized metaphor as weather allows me to reveal the silent yet ubiquitous nature that so many who suffer from anxiety and depression try to conceal. Depression often coexists with anxiety and both share the ability to alter one's perception of reality. The light bulb cloud installation includes hundreds of burnt-out incandescent bulbs to evoke the accumulation of listlessness, emptiness, and …
