65 Singing Roses, Francesca Weis

The Quatrain

Francesca Weis is a junior at Louisiana Tech University double majoring in biology and chemistry. As a hopeful future physician, an artistic mindset will be immensely advantageous to her. It serves as both a tool and an escape, filling in the gaps that the other leaves behind. Without art, she wouldn’t know relaxation; she wouldn’t have developed study tactics such as sketching diagrams of the body, drawing pathways of a protein, or mapping out the mechanism of a chemical reaction; Nor would Francesca be who she is today.

Glut And Guzzle, Ashley Kay Gardner

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

In Glut and Guzzle I explore my relationship with my partner, our sexualities and how to navigate these outside of the LDS faith of my childhood, and their struggles with gender, sexual expression and mental illness. This exploration landed on seductive and repulsive imagery of food and body. I use color, texture and size as a tool similar to visual tools of advertising to seduce my viewer. This is an exploration of how gender norms and the visual language of advertising that infiltrates daily lives and through media and religion can shape identity and gender roles. I utilize advanced 3D …

Beyond The Corner Sto: Why Sharing Of Black Images And Blackness Matters, Ciara Elle Bryant

Art Theses and Dissertations

What is the value of an image? Do we know? Can we even guess? In black communities, to see a visual representation of themselves is important to the growth of black identity. For centuries our existence and our experience has been negated. In this text, I invite the reader/viewer to experience the importance of representation to black communities. By choosing to look at specific examples of how black culture has been shared in the last century, I will contextualize the importance of my installation, Server, as well as discuss how it continues to document black culture.

Pleasure Is All Mine, Lola Ogbara

Graduate School of Art Theses

One’s identity is shaped by many factors such as race, culture, physical appearance, nationality, and religion—amongst many more.

Subverting myths of sexual deviancy and racial inferiority that perpetually pathologizes Black feminine sexuality, I often use and reference my own body to create avenues of power through physical and intellectual pleasure. Through material use of clay, metal, photography, and installation, I emphasize on how contemporary Black social cultures are able to write their own narratives in order to further progressions …
