In addition, Meagan
O’Connor will exhibit her extensive collection of clay work at the Looking Glass Gallery in the
Plemmons Student Union at ASU. Additional works installed and on display outside in public areas on
campus include those by Zac Cone, Joseph Duffer, Dave Gordon, and Allison Wesley Powers. Works in
all venues encompass a variety of media, including drawing, printmaking, fibers, painting, metals,
ceramics, sculpture, and installation.
For the past year, these students have been working
with Scott Ludwig, professor in the ASU Department of Art.
“The Bachelor of Fine Arts
Exhibition provides the Department of Art, the Boone community, parents, family and friends an
opportunity to gather together and celebrate the accomplishments of our graduating BFA Studio
students,” Ludwig said. “This year’s group of students has worked tirelessly, developing exceptional
work in the areas of drawing, printmaking, fibers, painting, metals, ceramics, sculpture and
installation. Their perseverance has resulted in an exceptional show that represents the quality and
diversity of the ASU art department. This year’s exhibition is exceptionally special in that each
student has been working with multiple forms of art media, expanding the boundaries of what the art
department really has to offer.”
