The Art & Design Faculty Exhibition opened in the Moss-Thorns Gallery of Art on October 6th and will be open through October 27th. A snippet of the gallery and its contents can be found below.

Moss-Thorns Gallery with an art piece by Tobias Flores named “Sandbao Tower.”
“Horseshoe Bend, Wilson Reservoir” by Danielle L. Robinson. “She utilized resin throughout to create the water that’s flowing through and then you can see the build up on her piece to create the actual materials in the painting of the green for the trees and kind of how the landscape is,” said Moss-Thorns Gallery Director Colin Schmidtberger.
“You can see by the dynamic pieces here of the story that’s going through from this one figure all the way through,” Schmidtberger said. “That’s kind of the highlight of graphics is you’re telling a story through the graphics you’re presenting and so this one looks like a woman who is very superpowered.” Ely Eira – “Various EP & Album Covers” by Thomas Giebler.

“He’s taking different objects that they’ve cast before that he wants to cast and then kind of adding them on for visual effect to create the piece,” Schmidtberger said. Created by Tobias Flores.
“Her story” by Linda Ganstrom. Cast from an actual person’s body mold.
“This is a representation of the oil industry, expressing the landscape from up above and kind of the oil rig itself as the presentation for the actual scale on it,” Schmidtberger said. “Slick Oil” by Danielle L. Robinson.
“Study of Waiting” by Jee Hwang, an Oil on Canvas. “A lot of what we do as artists is have the viewer think as well, we don’t want to give the whole story away. It’s one of those we want you to create your own,” Schmidtberger said.
“Invitation” by Linda Ganstrom. An interactive art piece where the viewer can sit on the empty pillow and become part of the piece itself.
“Desiring Uncertainty 1” by Jee Hwang, oil on canvas.
“Family Portrait” by Tobias Flores. “By the name of the piece itself, he’s thinking of his own family, and he’s portraying them from these found objects,” Schmidtberger said.
