Zoomorphics
Anderson Gallery
October 27 - February 21, 2024

In Zoomorphics, I paint my face and body, and photograph myself as creatures inspired by the natural world. The resulting images draw attention to our interconnection with all living things.

Ballast & Rampart
Maxwell Library 3rd. floor
August 25 - January 4, 2023

I was visiting a friend a few months ago and she was showing me her garden. She pointed out a path she had laid using “Sea Bricks”, bricks that had been smoothed down over decades by the sea into oval smooth shapes. She explained that there is a lot of sea brick on the ocean floor because for centuries, ships used bricks as ballast.

Immediately I resonated with the word; Ballast. I understand ballast. A material used to weigh down a ship, to balance it, to ground it. My printmaking practice is my “Ballast”. My art-making practice balances and grounds me.

Look Again
Maxwell Library 2nd. floor
August 25 - January 8, 2023

This ongoing portfolio of woodcut and collage portraits was originally inspired by the New York Times “Overlooked” series, which since March of 2018 has been sharing the stories of remarkable women and minorities who were overlooked by the NY Times obituaries in the past.

Mia Cross

Maxwell Library 3rd. floor
Maxwell Library 2nd. floor
Jaunuary 22 - March 25, 2024

Through a diverse body of work spanning multiple mediums and themes, Mia Cross explores color, the human figure, and narrative. Her oil paintings, and in particular her portraiture, demonstrate a fixed fascination with pattern and skin. When painting, Cross pays special care to creating engaging color relationships, sometimes harmonious and sometimes dissonant.

Mark Young

Mark Young's collection represents the span of a life's work of a local Bridgewater self-taught craftsman and artist who worked outside the art world. Mark was a ceaseless explorer of medium and form and style, whose work encompassed everything from watercolor to copper welding in the pursuit of his artistic expression.

They surround a large sculpture of the ballet legend and actor Mikhail Barysnikkov created Mr. Wyatt and installed in 2017. It was also donated to BSU by the foundation. Plans call for the installation of two more goddesses that will join Mazu,a Chinese goddess of the sea of Fujianese origin and Ganga,Hindu goddess of the Ganges. The addition of Salacia,Roman goddess of the sea and salt water and Anuket, Egyptian goddess of the Nile will complete the garden.
