Watkins College of Art, Design & Film presents Fine Art Thesis Exhibitions 2012, a two-part series of work by five graduating students in the Fine Art Department. First up is a triple exhibition offering by Bachelor of Fine Art degree candidates Emily Davis, Amy Edwards and Mollie Row, opening Thursday, Nov. 15, with a reception from 5:30 to 10 p.m. Their work will be on display in the Brownlee O. Currey, Jr. Gallery on campus through Nov. 25.

Davis and Row combine for the exhibition U N A S S I G N.

Edwards presents The Human Element, which investigates the ideas of taxonomy and systems that categorize a hierarchy between humans and animals. The content of this investigation centers on the imagined and mythological creature as a manifestation of an altered or “outside” the system species.  Edwards employs paintings, toys dipped in plaster, sculpey, tin foil, and enamel.

The exhibitions and reception are free and the public is invited. Watkins is located at 2298 Rosa L. Parks Boulevard in MetroCenter; free parking is available in the campus lot.  For more information, visit Watkins.edu or call 615.383.4848.
