Beyond the Depths: Aaron Guinn Senior Thesis Exhibition
Senior Thesis Exhibition for Bachelor of Fine Arts in Clay
Appalachian Center for Craft is pleased to announce it will be holding the Thesis Exhibition, Beyond the Depths, by Aaron Guinn on November 25 – December 8 in the Joe L. Evins Gallery, Mon-Sat., 10AM – 5PM, Sun. 12PM – 5PM. There you will see his ceramic sculptures of coral made from wheel-thrown, handbuilt, and press molded objects fired with layers of vibrant glazes. Like the growing signs of climate change, our coral reefs show loss of coloration and growth due to pollution of harmful non-biodegradable objects and hazardous materials that severely inhibit wildlife. The exhibition’s importance is to showcase nature’s beauty of natural, organic formations and the effects of pollution on our environments by taking more steps in protecting it.

Simply Southern: Cameron Adcock Senior Thesis Exhibition
Senior Thesis Exhibition for Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting
Sometimes people can be funnier than the joke. It seems that you stumble across the weirdest looking person telling a joke and you end up laughing at them rather than the punch line. That is what Cameron Adcock’s latest exhibition, “Simply Southern”, is all about. The exhibit will be located at the Bryan Fine Arts building on the TTU campus on Nov. 30 thru Dec. 11, 8 am thru 10 pm. If you like all things lighthearted and humorous, this show is for you.
The saturated and vivid colors contrasting with the detailed line work is unfathomable. The subjects are unique and eccentric people straight from the imagination of Cameron Adcock herself. Situated in the famous towns and destinations of Tennessee, these comical scenes are wonders to the eye.

This vulnerable exhibition addresses feelings that surround anxiety and depression and includes a stunning interactive sculpture that shows how other people can offer help.
It is my desire to create thought provoking works of art to bring to light mental health issues within society that have personally touched my life. I want to open up this conversation about mental health and connect to other people on a more vulnerable level.

“Groovy Glyphs: A Creature Feature”, Kiki Dunham Senior Thesis Exhibition
Senior Thesis Exhibition for Bachelor of Fine Arts in Clay
School of Art, Craft, and Design candidate Kiki Dunham presents their final work in their BFA Thesis Exhibition, “Groovy Glyphs: A Creature Feature”, opening Wednesday, Nov. 25, 2020 in the Appalachian Center for Craft Front Gallery. Their senior thesis show displays their ceramic and illustration skills learned throughout their time in the Arts program at TTU. The show consists of ceramic handbuilt wall hangings that tell a story. The designs, as Dunham describes, “are meant to be lively, fun, and most importantly, entertaining”. Through the use of underglazes, heavy carving and selective glazing, they create pieces with depth, that are visually interesting and pushed beyond the expected norm. Exhibit dates: Nov. 25-Dec. 8, 2020.

Backdoor Playhouse at TN Tech
Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde by Moisés Kaufman
Directed by Mark Harry Creter
November 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 20, 21, 2020 at 8:00 p.m.
November 19, 2020 at 10:00 p.m.
November 21, 2020 at 2:00 p.m.
In order to safely distance the audience from one another we will only be accommodating 32 people in the auditorium per performance. Audiences will be accommodated on a first-come-first-served basis.
THE STORY:
GROSS INDECENCY uses trial transcripts, personal correspondence, interviews and other source materials to tell the story of the downfall of the great man of letters whose artistic genius has long been overshadowed by the scandal surrounding his imprisonment. “His style was his umbrella, his armor, his all-purpose defense system, and for many years it seemed to shelter Oscar Wilde most effectively. There came a moment, however, in 1895 when the playwright was betrayed by his own wit, after which he would never again be able to gain control of his life.
Pixeled Past: Senior Thesis Exhibition in Clay by Jonathan Strong
School of Art, Craft, and Design candidate Jonathan Strong presents his final work in his BFA Thesis Exhibition, “Pixeled Past”, opening Wednesday, Nov. 11, thru Nov. 24, in the Appalachian Center for Craft Joe L. Evins Gallery.
In this exhibition, “Pixeled Past”, Jonathan uses a wide range of clay bodies as well as multiple building and firing techniques to achieve an aged appearance. Using these techniques, he hopes to invite the viewer into another world- a world where the heroes from our childhood video games were real. Jonathan strives to bring the viewer to a simpler time, where the heroes and villains told stories that inspired hope, taught principles of right and wrong, good and evil, and immersed the player in a fantastic world.
