Featuring the work of graduating studio art majors, Opening Hands, the 2023 senior thesis exhibition provides a unique opportunity for these artists to present their work in a professional art museum. This year's presenting artists are Eloni Bickham, Kamryn Chadwick, Emma Doven, inin, Madeline Hsu, Kundavi Kannan, Lily Koch, Ava Lynch, Zoila Márquez, Sarah Phenix, and Julie Ana Williams. Experimenting with a range of forms and media from painting to sculpture and video, the artists in Opening Hands present work to help us imagine a path through trauma, find transformation in memory and nostalgia, and consider our place in the natural world.
