Gallery I: Echoes of the Mind

Beki Borman, Nastia Craig & Katie Schutte

Navigate the intricate landscape of perception and memory as each creator explores the evolving narratives within, unveiling the echoes of personal experiences that shape and reshape one’s understanding of self and place. In this introspective exploration, the mind becomes a canvas saturated by color, where perceptions weave a rich tapestry of individual and collective stories. 

Gallery II: Of Bones and Soul

Gwendolynn Fabert Maitzen & Kaitlin Walsh

Using inspiration from the form and function of human anatomy, history and the contemporary, these artists’ works seek to explore the obscure and dynamic beauty within the body-mind connection, revealing truths of society and self.

Gallery III: On the Border

Judith Bradshaw-Rouse & Cullen Granzen

The artists’ separate currents of creativity converge on the border between Mexico and the United States. Their work is a testament to how people with vastly different methods and origins can unite for a common cause.

Playhouse Gallery: For the Time Being

Various artists

“For the Time Being” combines glass and neon works from the 2023/24 academic year’s UW-Madison neon and glassblowing courses. It speaks to current works created by the active student body and acknowledges how creativity within a communal environment is constantly changing. glasslab.art.wisc.edu/glassmadison
