East Tennessee State University’s Slocumb Galleries will host the bachelor of fine arts exhibitions of two seniors in the Department of Art and Design – Daniel M. Brown and Briana Knight – from March 30-April 3.
“Response,” the display by Brown, consists of posters illustrating choices people make throughout their lives concerning ideas presented in the Bible. “These posters use biblical concepts (and) traditional and modern techniques to create eye-catching, yet thoughtful, poster designs.”
In “Terra Incognita,” which means “unknown world,” Knight explores her fascination with creatures of the sea and “monsters” of the deep sea and “provides a dynamic and abstracted view into this unknown world which humans cannot fully experience.” Along with fiber and sewing techniques, she employs printmaking, photography, painting and drawing in her work. The Brier, Wash., native has been a member of the ETSU softball team for the last four years.
A closing reception for both Brown and Knight will be held Friday, April 3, from 5-7 p.m. in conjunction with Johnson City’s monthly “First Friday” celebration downtown.
The exhibits and reception are free and open to the public. Gallery hours are 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday, with extended hours during receptions.
For more information or special assistance for those with disabilities, contact Slocumb Galleries Director Karlota Contreras-Koterbay at (423) 483-3179 or contrera@etsu.edu.
