Senior exhibits featured in Gallery 101

An artist reception is from 4-7 p.m. today in Gallery 101 for two senior BFA artists exhibiting their work in KFA. Austin Brigman's work is part visual journaling and part surreal composition, using drawings, acrylic paint, spray paint, ink and charcoal on found paper. Blurring the lines between decorative and functional pottery, Kelsey Anderson's forms vary from tiny owl figurines to 3 1/2 foot vases utilizing various methods of construction. The exhibit ends Nov. 10. Gallery hours are Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and 7-9 p.m., Sunday 2-4 p.m. Photo by Jens Gunelson.
