Join us on Thursday, December 5 from 6:30 – 8 p.m. for the opening reception of Bittersweet Bliss: the 2024 BA Senior Studio Exhibition.
We proudly present an exhibition that swirls through nine personal narratives of struggle, self-knowledge, and fantasy respectively. The imagined paired with the gut led to a collection of works that overload the senses, and indulge in a decadence of material and ornamentation. These works conjure memories of the hospital stay, the museum visit, the family gathering, and inexplicable bouts of nostalgia from a lineage that precedes us. We long, we dream, we ail, we labor, we try and fail to control, we are overwhelmed, and yet, we find bliss and comfort in the middle of it all. We know what we feel and we remember it. As our BA Seniors bid farewell to Stamps, we share this gift of our work, tied lovingly with a bow.
