Spring Semester 2024
Hannah Pearson: "All At Once"
January 15 - February 28, 2024
Join us for an artist talk and DoVA day on Monday, February 12, 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
“All At Once” is a collection of works that explore memory, identity, family, dreams, the spaces we live in, and how we carry all of this into the present. Photographs, portraits, illustrations and gathered ephemera are often collaged over familiar views of nature and accompanied by scribbled musings - all capturing momentary trains of thought. “All At Once” at its core examines time, how we think about it, and the things that remain as it passes.
