2022 Senior Thesis Art Show is “A Piece of Cake”
|
In their senior year, Whitman College’s studio art majors conclude their studies with a final thesis exhibition in the Sheehan Gallery. The year’s show, “A Piece of Cake,” will run through May 22, 2022. The sweet theme was decided by the 11 graduating students. In a group statement, the seniors explained the sentiments behind it:
“Amongst ourselves, we’ve spent plenty of time acknowledging the things about creative work that are difficult or painful. The things that take too long, or feel too scary. We deserve, also, to savor the sweetness of making art. We’ve been allowed to create things from scratch, enjoying the tactile, time-shifting magic of working with our hands and minds. Perhaps even better, we’ve been allowed the joy of watching our own projects and those of our peers rise and grow, transforming from raw materials into complex and beautiful worlds of their own. That joy is baked into the show, and it is all the more worth appreciating in context of the uncertainty, distance, and loss that has marked these last few years.”
Visit the show in Sheehan Gallery now through May 22, or take a bite-sized look at “A Piece of Cake” on our website.
