UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Thursday, April 4,1996 5A Students show thesis artwork Fine Arts exhibit is final chance for some students Brian Hott / KANSAN Jason Reid, Boulder, Colo., freshman, wanders through a hanging-wire sculpture created by Kiki Revoir, Lawrence graduate student. The sculpture was part of the Master of Fine Arts thesis show at the Art and Design Building. By Stephanie Fite Kansan correspondent The slick black floor and white walls in the art and design gallery will provide the backdrop for four Lawrence graduate students of art to express their ideas for the last time. A rotating exhibit of the thesis artworks of these students began on March 17 at the fine arts gallery in the Art and Design Building. The exhibition will continue until April 12. The show is the final one in which graduate students in art can exhibit their works in a gallery before graduation. "The thesis exhibit for these students focuses on studio efforts to produce a formal exhibition of their final year of work," said Judith McCrea, associate professor of art and chairwoman of the art department. Julie Green was the first of the graduate students to show her works in the gallery. She described her works as quiet moments captured on canvas. "My works display both an Eastern and Western influence," Green said. "Each painting is exclusively from things I have seen, giving each work a dream-like quality. This thesis show is my celebration of completing a goal." Billie Giese-Vella's paintings are a layering of personal experiences. "My education has been an inward journey," Giese-Vella said. "I have always wanted to make art but I never had that direction until I came to the graduate school. The masters program enabled me to get on my feet and know where I am going." Kiki Revoir uses traditional craft techniques to transform found objects into new and unrecognizable forms. "There is a connection between things," Revoir said. "Found objects have an inherent energy that serves as visual shorthand for the common memory bank with nuances applicable to each viewer." Kelly Glentz said that human interaction is what gives value and meaning to her artistic expression. "I have tried to make all of my work approachable," Glentz said. "Each work represents different influences in our life and how we make decisions." All four students said that each of their artworks is reflective of the environment of free expression and personal creativity fostered within the art department. "I feel like I have been respected and challenged," Revoir said.
