Five Hastings College seniors will showcase their work in the first senior thesis art exhibition, which is open April 7-22 at the Jackson Dinsdale Art Center (JDAC).
The exhibition features a diverse range of media and personal narratives from Issy Bonomo of North Platte, Nebraska; Fayth Brudvig of Nelson, Nebraska; Lily Krahulik of Lyman, Nebraska; Delaney Krutsinger of Imperial, Nebraska; and Sebbie Roberts of Central City, Nebraska.
There will be a lecture for the exhibit on Sunday, April 19 at 2:00 pm in the Wilson Center (814 Turner Avenue), followed by a reception in the JDAC (700 East 12th Street). The galleries, lecture and reception are free and open to the public.
Bonomo’s series of work showcases different aspects of Italian-American culture through the style of graffiti. She also utilizes assemblage, a technique that uses scavenged objects.
Brudvig’s collection delves into multimedia composition with themes of security and childlike wonder.
Krahulik’s ceramic work focuses on the act of gathering as a community. She used wild clay to create her pottery.
Krutsinger’s oil paintings are a series of self portraits that give a glimpse into living with a chronic illness. This is done with the use of everyday scenery. She uses expressive color palettes to convey different emotions in her work.
Roberts uses photography with an emphasis on travel. “I wanted to share my inner self and push past my comfort zone,” Roberts said.
The JDAC galleries are open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and noon to 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays. Please note the galleries will be closed April 3-6 during a student break.
The second senior thesis show will be open April 24-May 8.
