Titled after a poem by Edgar Allan Poe, From Every Depth of Good and Ill, is an exhibition composed of vignettes created with ceramic sculpture, ephemeral installation works, and printmaking. The work primarily references domesticity and antiquated subjects to illustrate the process of coping with past trauma and the resulting feelings of shame, inadequacy, and incompleteness. Marked by a palette of warm rust and sepia, aged patterning, and worn textures, the tableau of objects presented within the space mimics old familial photographs. Each resulting work serves as a dirty looking-glass for the viewer to peer through.

This MFA thesis exhibition took place at the University of North Texas’ Cora Stafford Gallery on April 26th - 29th, 2023.
