In her project "Visible Women," Christina Nguyen Hung uses tools and techniques commonly associated with the biological sciences to explore and critique scientific visualizations. By experimenting with representational techniques drawn from botany and microbiology, and filtering them through an interpretive framework informed by feminist, and conceptual art, Hung's work poses larger questions that reveal the subjective nature of scientific inquiry and imaging practices throughout history.

Kara Dunne is a printmaker, video, performance and installation artist who lives in Providence, Rhode Island. A recent resident at both the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts and the Burren College of Art, Dunne's recent printmaking and video work has been shown in New York, San Diego, and Washington DC. Her creative drive stems from her background in both the visual arts as well as theater; the combination of the two enabled her to explore the opportunities of the live, the staged, and the recorded.
Printmaking often becomes a way of creating prop or costume and it is fully incorporated into her performance and videos. Ultimately, Dunne believes looking at art shouldn't be easy, and she strives to involve the viewer directly in her work through some means of interaction.

Mary Jane Parker "Tracings"

August 15th - September 19th
Millsaps Lewis Art Gallery
Gallery talk and reception Friday, September 14th at 12:30pm in Room 215 of the Academic Complex
MARY JANE PARKER's work combines printmaking techniques with other media including drawing and cut paper. The inspiration for Parker's current work came from observing the masses of foliage that blanketed the New Orleans landscape following Hurricane Katrina. She began photographing them, drawing them and cutting stencils of them. Patterns, mementos, nature and the disquiet of suppressed memories all collide in her current body of work that is both lush and ever so slightly uneasy. Ms. Parker is chair of the Visual Arts Department at the New Orleans Center for Creative where she also teaches.

This series of acrylic paintings from Sandra Murchison features information from the Mississippi Blues Trail historical markers in the Delta region. About three years ago, Sandra began collecting information such as text from the markers, bits of nature from around the marker and images of the settings they are found - layering the fragmented stories into the painted collages. This work with the Mississippi Blues Trail markers builds on her previous work with historical markers and her general interest in howamerica remembers its past. Murchison has committed herself to making a rubbing for each marker in the Delta region for this ongoing project.

October 29 - December 6
Millsaps Lewis Art Gallery and The Emerging Space
Gallery talk and reception Friday, November 9th at 12:30pm in Room 215 of the Academic Complex
"Vowing to Storm the Capital" investigates the cacophony of media in news cycles and how the presentation of this imagery has deferred an understanding of the information and the aggregate cultural landscape it presents. This exhibition of McFadden's work takes the forms of two-dimensional prints, book arts and installation work. McFadden holds a MFA in printmaking from Edinburgh College of Art and is currently an Assistant Professor of Printmaking at Minnesota State University, Mankato.
