Stories Of Otherness, Lee Ann Harrison

Graduate Theses

The thesis exhibition Stories of Otherness is an interactive installation created using dance, music, photography, video, ceramic figurative sculptures, and armatures of found objects to create a voyeuristic and physically participatory experience of situational art. Many artists from various art and literary genres influence my research and art, including Petah Coyne, Mona Hatoum, Pina Bausch, Mia Michaels, and Jeanette Winterson. The multi-faceted combination of art mediums and artists inspires me to create a mixed media, multi-dimensional installation for an immersive participant’s experience as a source for awareness, empathy, reflection, and ultimately as a “call to action” evoking change.

Portrayal, Kathryn A. Wilson

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This thesis is in addition to my thesis series, Portrayal, a group of selected photographs. In this essay I outline the contents and developments of the series of photographs by the same name.

Hand Of Glory: I Get Nervous, Alonzo O. Williams

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

I get nervous but I'm not really scared. If I am to look timid then honestly, who cares? Judgement can take it's place. I want to think about the mistake. The failure of not being myself completely, but I gaze at the cross and accept my forever weakness. I cannot make up for this day. The day that I walked up to a friend whom I know to an extent but yet in her presence I could not help but be nervous. My words were slur, my conversation was awkward, my body was numb. For a moment I had the …

Interview With Lev Grossman, Cassandra Christopher

Manuscripts

I’m not an especially emotional being. But when I first read The Magicians, I was furious. I spent thirty minutes trying to explain my anger to my family and to my best friend. I felt that Lev Grossman had soiled Narnia, the most precious world I’d ever known, with a protagonist, Quentin, who was a self-absorbed ass.

At …
