After many long days and sleepless nights
filled with hard work and determination the
artwork of many of the art majors for the Class
of 2017 was finally unveiled on Friday, April 7
at the 2016-2017 Senior Art Exhibition titled
“Framework.”
The exhibition showcases the works of six
seniors at the college. Each of their works of art
spanning across all types of mediums with each
of the artists drawing from a multitude of inspira
tions whether they be from life experiences or
just who the artist is as a person.
McKinley Davis, Graphic Design Concentra
tion, revealed that her pieces go through the
personal journey that she has gone through
over the years. Maya Pardo, Graphic Design
Concentration, spoke about how her inspiration
came to her after the passing of her grandmother,
the Japanese part of her culture as an influence,
and the representation of mental illnesses within
her work.
Shannon Swenton, Sculpture and Photogra
phy Concentration, said her work focuses on
herself and her interests and that she used the
old fence from the college in her sculptures.
Shon Swett, Photography Concentration, told
us that he wanted to focus on his hometown of
Charleston, South Carolina and how he wanted
to focus on and record his family’s involvement
in the community.
Megyn Terrell, Graphic Design Concentration,
didn’t know what would drive her concepts
at first, but as time went by she realized that
interests matter and what she cares about is the
environment and how our actions will affect
future generations. Fleath Turner, Sculpture
Concentration, has had a strong interest in hearts
since his freshmen year. His cast iron hearts
are metaphorical pieces so each of them have a
deeper meaning to them.
Many of the pieces in the exhibition are avail
able for the public to purchase. If there is a piece
that you are interested in and want to possibly
purchase you can contact Diane Pomphrey, Art
Department Office Manager.
The exhibition is in the Sim’s Art Center’s
Spiers Gallery which is open on weekdays from
8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and the show is free of charge
and runs through Apr. 28.
