Fine Arts Gallery Presents: M.F.A. Thesis Exhibition of Ashley L. Byers
Throughout her time in the University of Arkansas Master of Fine Arts program, Ashley L. Byers has been creating work about the folklore, landscape, and people of the Ozarks. Though she continues to create work with the Ozarks in mind, it becomes a motif used for a broader conversation about polarized paradigms in her thesis, Place(ment).
The installation will include found objects, painting, drawing, sound, and sculpture that break down delineations between deceptively oppositional concepts such as truth/fiction, authenticity/inauthenticity, and inside/outside.
The show will run from March 7-11 during normal gallery hours with a closing reception at 5:30 p.m. Friday, March 11.
Gallery Hours:
Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Sunday, 2-5 p.m.
