Jennifer Bastian (MFA 2008, Art) will debut her new exhibition “Born on a Ripple” at Tooth + Nail Studios on October 7. “Born on a Ripple” is an exploration of the complexities of grief, especially through the lens of parenting and community.
In a Shepherd Express article written by Ben Slowey, Bastian describes her motivation behind the exhibition. Driven by her experience with chronic illness and the passing of her mother, Bastian uses textile works and mixed media to explore her grief.
