Senior studio-art exhibition opens April 30
by MaryAlice Bitts-Jackson
Every week during the past academic year, six studio-art majors in the class of 2021 logged into Zoom early in the morning or late at night, depending on where they were in the world. They couldn’t catch a whiff of a classmate’s linseed oil or touch a new sculpture, as they had in their pre-pandemic classes together. But they could share their works and ideas and offer observations, suggestions and support. And, working together remotely, across continents, they slowly developed a cohesive vision of the 2021 senior studio-art exhibition, Remnant, on view April 30 to Sept. 10.
