The MFA Painting and Sculpture theses are displayed in both the Faye G., Jo, and James Stone Gallery<\/a> and Commonwealth Gallery<\/a> at the BU College of Fine Arts building. The works by graduating MFA Sculpture<\/strong> students demonstrate their interest in experimentation with a broad range of unconventional materials.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA tally of these materials would overwhelm: everything from ceramic and plexiglass, latex and lumber, paper and steel (sometimes corroded by vinegar), to chicken bones, SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast, also known as kombucha leather), actively composting bloodworms, fungus, and other less-than-palatable substrates,\u201d says David Snyder<\/a>, Assistant Professor of Art, Chair of Graduate Studies, Sculpture. \u201cThe results of the experiments\u2014though wildly different\u2014share an attentive appreciation for rich surface detail, as well as an uncompromising, specific approach to the use of physical space as a primary component of the work itself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
