I may be a little behind, but I have a giant post of coverage from my MFA exhibition which took place from May 12-21. Walking around a few days later, it was ideal to take shots after the chaos of the opening. On the evening of the reception, I was stuck at my post next to my paintings, so it wasn't until I walked around to get some photos that I got to spend some quality time with everyone's artwork. I did not get to each artist in this post- some photos were bad and some I missed, so my apologies to anyone left out. We had a stellar class and I'm super proud of all of us!

 |
| Dave Sandoval's "Holiday Dinner Karaoke" was a crowd pleaser |
 |
| Inside, you sat at one of four seats around a table with a microphone and a scrolling prompter of banal family dinner conversation. Like, "Last year we went to Vegas", and the other seat: "Oh, I didn't know that. I like Blackjack". |

| A video projection on the table of a time-lapsed view of the dinner plates |
 |
| Emily Eifler's super-ambitious interactive video game |
 |
