MFA Closing Reception - Solastalgia Exhibit

Through the sculptural work of ceramist Deighton Abrams and photographs by Haley Floyd, Solastalgia explores the physical, psychological, and emotional relationship between the environment and human identity.
Connected to the concepts of solace and desolation, solastalgia is used by environmental philosophers to describe the human distress associated with environmental sickness regarding home. Both artists reflect on this relationship through their personal experiences of home.
This exhibit showcases a culmination of research in which students go through a series of critiques during their time as a Master of Fine Arts candidate, helping build a body of work of the students’ choosing. The public is invited to join the conversation by attending the artist talks, followed by the artists’ reception. All events are free and will be hosted in the Lee Gallery.
