Mutual Expansion – A Senior Thesis Exhibition

Reception: Thursday, April 6, 2023 5:00 – 7:00 pm

Audrey Permunian

Savanah Cornell

The dimensions of height, depth, and width within which all things exist and move are questioned, observed, and composited–from filling space full of color and matter, to capturing an interval of time, devoid of color. Audrey Permunian and Savannah Cornell close in on the ideas of space and thought and how they perceive it.

Audrey Permunian photographs their observations of the environments in which we surround ourselves in as every object, natural or made, mutely speaking to a sequence of actions deployed to shape, control, and mark the land as we shape the domain in which we live into our own.

Savanah Cornell is presenting the series Prokaryote as a series of prints and paintings playing with organic matter and pattern while taking deep consideration how others will perceive these things. The monotypes experiment with the sporadic nature of print to create once of a kind pieces. Alongside the monotypes are paintings that have a more systematic approach while creating continues patters similar to cellular organisms. While creating these pieces the idea of movement and growth are main inspirations. The viewer is encouraged to think about these pieces and how we define a space and the idea of taking up space.
