Flufferful

Features the work of Liam O'Brien, whose paintings and drawings explore the middle class obsession with theme parks and shopping malls, using rubber ducks, stuffed animals and children's toys as models. "The toy imagery acts as a metaphor, symbols used to represent the artist, his environment and culture," O'Brien says.

Imagine No Religion

A new student show featuring the photography of Frank Rapant '07. The project focuses on crimes against women in major world religions. "I was amazed to discover the amount of abuse women are expected to take at the hands of ‘holy' men," says Rapant in his artist's statement. "Perhaps if we, as human beings, begin to realize the harm religion has done to all of us, we might be able to further reform a troubled system."

Rapant is an English major and Visual Arts minor. He is also a full-time photolab technician in the Art Department.
