Description/Summary
The 2023 MFA Illustration candidates collectively titled this exhibition Pareidolia, the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern. This choice reflects their shared pursuit of finding and articulating meaning in their visual artwork. The images in this gallery, however, are far from random or ambiguous. These bodies of work are the final result of a year-long thesis process of research, creative ideation, and technical execution. It is the culmination of three years of artistic exploration and personal growth during graduate study.
The 15 MFA Illustration candidates represented here are unified in a dedication to their craft and to their emerging professional illustration careers. This exhibition as a whole is a reflection of this diverse group of individual visual storytellers and their artistics pursuits. Each of them are asking us through these images to perceive meaning in this world through their eyes.
This exhibition is curated by faculty members Dennis Dittrich and Anelle Miller.
