“Walks,” the Bachelor of Fine Arts Exhibit by East Tennessee State University senior Joan Elliott, will be on display in Slocumb Galleries March 27-31.
This body of work serves as a visual translation and recreation of the artist’s frequent walks in nature.
Elliott, who hails from Unicoi, Tenn., said she hopes viewers “will examine their own relationship to nature, awaken creativity, and go for walks.”
Elliott uses natural materials, such as beeswax, oil, wood, paper and soil, to create large, colorful, two-dimensional collages. She frequently embeds objects collected on her walks into her images.
A closing reception will be held Friday, March 31, from 5-7 p.m. at Slocumb Galleries, located in Ball Hall.
Regular gallery hours are 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday.
Both the exhibit and the reception are free and open to the public. For more information, call Slocumb Galleries at 439-4392.
