REALM of FANTASY:  Erin Knight Senior Thesis Exhibition

Senior Thesis Exhibition for Bachelor of Fine Arts in Metals

Goblins and faeries have taken over the gallery at the Appalachian Center for Craft in Smithville, TN. Graduating senior Erin Knight created a scene of wonder in her student exhibition, “Let The Finale Be Unseen”, a lively cast of fantastical creatures caught in a moment of time. They brought their tree and storybook with them and will be in residence Nov.17 – 30, 2021. All ages are invited.

A culmination of three years of hard work, features goblins, faeries, and other creatures out of folklore exploring our world from the safety of a tree transplanted from theirs. Attendees can view these intrepid explorers from all angles as they move about the space. Artist Erin Knight invites close inspection of the work and the associated title cards, “because some secrets need a little digging to uncover.”
