The James Pearson Duffy Department of Art, Art History, and Design is pleased to present ▲g·gre·gate at the Art Department Gallery, March 2 through March 31, 2023.  An opening reception will be held on Thursday, March 2, 6-9PM.  This exhibition features artworks by graduating WSU MFA students who practice in a variety of disciplines and approaches.  Exhibiting artists include Aaron Deshields, Ephemera Fae, and Sarah Heuninck. 

Each artist explores art-making processes that echo the fragile human experience with emphasis on decomposition and rejuvination.  Their raw, broken, quiet, and varying approaches dissect materials that are influenced by specific social systems.  From Sarah’s paintings to Aaron’s structures, and the flawed compositions held within Ephemera's installation works, the artists collaborate to provide a conceptual landscape to navigate, reflect, and understand the density within the natural and industrial worlds.
