FSU Department of Art invites you to the Opening Reception of the dual BFA Thesis exhibition, “Humbleabode + Wanderlust”, on Friday, November 17 at 5 pm, with a special Artist Talk at 6 pm. 

BFA Thesis exhibition “Humbleabode + Wanderlust” as a dual exhibition will open November 17^th at The FAB Gallery. It will be up until December 11^th. The reception is 5-7 pm and the artist's talk will be at 6 pm. 

The front space will be occupied with cardboard materials in a site-specific installation by BFA candidate Grace Thornburg. “By creating a relatable space using familiar materials, I hope audiences will feel more comfortable and be further inclined to interact with the work,” Thornburg says. Through this site-specific installation, Grace questions what home means to the audience in our time. There will be a component Thornburg wants the viewers to interact with. 

The backspace will be exhibited “Wanderlust” in a multimedia site-specific installation by another BFA candidate, Erin Polivka. Polivka explores the relationship between humans and the environment. Culling shapes and colors from landscapes and nature in her mind Polivka twists and improvises materials in her process to arrive somewhere fantastical and otherworldly. Using found fabric, wire, and paper mâché she envisions humans in nature in a harmonized landscape.
