'Passed On,' by Nichole Maury, on display at the Richmond Center
KALAMAZOO, Mich.鈥擶estern 九一麻豆制片厂 University Associate Professor of Art Nichole Maury will exhibit her work "Passed On" at WMU's Kerr Gallery in the Richmond Center for Visual Arts Thursday, Oct. 16 through Friday, Dec. 12.
For the exhibition, Maury explores how the stories we tell are purposefully incomplete. We become so entrenched in manufactured realities, romanticized and idealized, that we can no longer say what is real and what is not. She uses various systems of deconstruction to draw attention to our inability to construct a complete personal narrative.
