About this Event



Exhibition Statement

This exhibition is a snapshot and a sampling from our studios this January. We’ve had the run of the Visual Arts Center at Hollins during this quiet short term, and we've played and experimented in multiple media: printmaking, photography, sculpture, animation, painting and assemblage. For some of us, this is our first exhibition of artwork in Roanoke (hello!)



Featured Artists and Statement of Work
Elise Schweitzer

Lead Professor

Roanoke, Virginia

My paintings engage with strategies of abstraction as a means to observe, transform, and participate in the material world. This January, I painted at a larger scale and with a new palette of colors that seem to evoke snowy landscapes and underwater cities.


Karson Miltsch

Student

Middletown, Pennsylvania

A fun spin on physical animation, bringing whimsy to the eye before screens took over the movement of drawings and handmade crafts.


Chenxi Gao

Professor

China --> Texas

My work explores my relationship with living spaces, household objects, and the sense of home in the shifting cultural and social environments. The layers of imagery, patterns, and materials in my work echo my thought process: where do I come from? What do I do with my memories? Should I keep them forever or put them away? Where am I going next?

I will be showing some monotypes and potentially drawings or etchings.


Mujdah

Student

Manassas, Virginia

Epoxy Resin figure Sculpture dancing. Made from hijab and draped over a model. Capturing the movement and life in fabric when dancing and the delicate beauty of thin delicate fabric.


Andrea Gomez Munza

Student

Sibate, Colombia --> Christiansburg, Virginia

Through digital layering of photographs and cyanotype, I piece together pedacitos de mi gente y mi cultura, pieces of my people and my culture!
