Echoes And Artifacts, Molly Elizabeth Miller 2014 Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College

Echoes And Artifacts, Molly Elizabeth Miller

LSU Master's Theses

Architecture has many different contexts and meanings, but regardless of time and place, buildings act as a physical container of memory. This body of work explores the use of large facades as residue of a personal memory and uses physical deterioration to parallel the distortion of memory as a result of time and emotion. The work makes use of warping and tearing of materials and is created through the combination of large-scale relief prints, drawing, sewing, and the cutting away of materials. The exhibition includes an installation of fabric-based prints, a series of wall-based altered paper prints, and several artist …

Each type of public campaign design was assessed in terms of (1) the extent to which audiences understand about the campaign and (2) the extent to which the materials encouraged the audience to participate …


Time Frame, A K M Jabed Rashel 2014 Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College

Time Frame, A K M Jabed Rashel

LSU Master's Theses

I am interested in painting figures from direct observation as well as from photographs and memory in an invented theatrical interior space. My models act in an artificial stage to create the drama of a narrative. My figurative paintings present a rolling panoramic space that is manipulated over time. In addition, as a foreign student I had access to many sights in the new world once I came to the United States for the very first time. The expansiveness of the capital culture helped to develop the depth of my narratives in my art work.


A Meal Denied, Sarah Kolac 2014 Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College

A Meal Denied, Sarah Kolac

LSU Master's Theses

The photographs in the series A Meal Denied offer a unique portrait into the lives of individuals currently serving as Texas Death Row inmates. In 2011, due to an extravagant meal request by an inmate, Senator John Whitmire sought to put an end to the last meal requests in Texas. Whitmire stated, "It is extremely inappropriate to give a person sentenced to death such a privilege." However, I disagree with Whitmire; every inmate on Death Row should not be denied one of the only choices they will perhaps ever have during their incarceration in prison due to one particular inmates' …

Layered Recollections, Jennifer Elizabeth Hager

LSU Master's Theses

Layered Recollections is an installation of functional pottery that evokes feelings of nostalgia and longing associated with the home environment. I am interested in creating memories through the use of pottery. It is my intention to make work that creates happiness in the user’s lives and brings joy to everyday routines through floral imagery. Each installation in the exhibition references an area in the home.


The Burgos Tapestry: Medieval Theatre And Visual Experience, Nathalie Rochel FRCH '11 2013 Fordham University

The Burgos Tapestry: Medieval Theatre And Visual Experience, Nathalie Rochel Frch '11

The Fordham Undergraduate Research Journal

In the field of art history, the medium of tapestry has only recently begun to gain attention as its own significant art form. This paper examines the possible relationship between the Burgos Tapestry, recently on view at The Cloisters after a thirty-year conservation, and medieval theatre. The compositional and stylistic forms of the tapestry may have been influenced by productions of medieval mystery plays, which through analysis can help provide a greater understanding of the medieval cultural mindset, the possible artistic decisions behind maintaining medieval pictorial traditions into the early sixteenth century, and the medieval viewer’s experience when looking at …
