Abstract

dc:description.abstract

<p>The artist discusses the search for identity which underlies her Master of Fine Arts exhibition, <em>Eulogy</em>, hosted by the Carroll Reece Museum on the campus of East Tennessee Sate University, Johnson City, Tennessee, from March 8 to May 6, 2011. This exhibit contains works which explore the artist's relationship with the natural world, ornithology, philosophy, psychology, poetry, and related personal influences.</p><p>The artist's thesis work consists of paintings, drawings, and photographs. The artist references her own investigation of poetry, philosophy, psychology, and personal history which have shaped a private sense of awareness. Also reviewed are the influences of artists such as Alexander Marshall, William Morris, Charles Burchfield, Rosamond Purcell, and Kiki Smith; the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke and writings of Loren Eiseley; the ideas of philosophers G. W. F. Hegel and Slavoj Žižek, and art historian James Elkins.</p>
