Fine Arts Gallery Presents M.F.A. Thesis Exhibition of Aimee Odum
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Aimee Odum presents In Rift for her Masters of Fine Arts thesis exhibition.
The exhibition will be on view in the Fine Arts Gallery from April 13-16, with the closing reception to be held at 5:30-8:30 p.m. on April 15.
The work in this exhibition focuses on the embodiment of ecological places and explores the human desire for movement within a natural world. The work is comprised of sound, video, and object installations that imitate the surreal, and sometimes uncanny, atmospheres created by the things of an outside place.
Digital media, in forms of screens and projections, is used as a portal for physical and psychic environments, as the medium itself most often functions as a fissure for supplemental reality. Amorphous blobs simulate the untouchable sensations of an environment while moving in the screen, whereas gilded clay forms reciprocate our desire for tangible preciousness.
The work is not about a specific geographic location, but an encouragement to enter a zone of reverie concerning the malleable embodiment between humans and things; the in-between psychic sphere for our ambient, imperceptible experiences and their animate, vibrant nature.
