\"BFA_SHOW_GRAPHIC\"<\/a>Next week, three University of Mississippi Bachelor of Fine Arts candidates\u00a0will present their artwork for their senior thesis shows in Gallery 130 in Meek Hall.<\/p>\n

Beginning Monday (Nov. 17) and running through Nov. 21, Julia Tatum, Jonathan Adams, and Desiree Kapler will exhibit their talents in graphic design, painting and photography, respectively.<\/p>\n

Each show has evolved from a theme that materialized within each student.<\/p>\n

Julia Tatum, who graduates in December with her BFA in studio art, will show a collection of fabrics presented as “The Gathering,” a tribute to her family and the beauty of fall.<\/p>\n

Her inspiration developed inside her grandmother’s national landmark home, Ammadelle, a Civil War-era Italianate mansion on North Lamar Boulevard in Oxford. She values the home as a centerpiece for her and her family.<\/p>\n

“My grandmother’s home is where I began to acquire a taste for the decorative and fluid designs,” Tatum said. “The decor in the home inspired me to create designs to mimic the ornate patterns as preserved memories.”<\/p>\n

Jonathan Adams, also graduating in December, came to Ole Miss to study criminal justice, but instead will leave with his BFA in painting. His show,\u00a0“<\/span>Sacrosanct,”\u00a0<\/span>creates a dialogue that intertwines what he has been told in life with life experiences he holds sacred.<\/p>\n

“I think ‘Sacrosanct’ is fitting,” Adams said. “I am trying to raise awareness that there are people of faith that are in love with someone of the same sex.”<\/p>\n

He says it’s an actuality that should never be taken away from anyone.<\/p>\n

“We create ourselves by layering information,” Adams said. “I like to think about that when I paint.”<\/p>\n

Lastly, Desiree Kapler, also graduating in December, might as well have emerged from the womb, camera-in-hand. Her grandfather was a photographer and her mother is an artist. She has been surrounded by cameras her entire life, so she said her BFA in imaging arts was inevitable.<\/p>\n

“The camera is a part of who I am, a way for me to watch myself and to watch others,” Kapler said. “If someone looked at my genetic code, they would probably see spirals of film from a long line of artists who passed down their passion.”<\/p>\n

Her show, “Exposed,” explores the frustrating fears and anxieties that many women face as a result of society’s pressures.<\/p>\n

“We (women) are not objects of lust or shameful, nameless masses for society’s judgments,” Kapler said. “We’re women \u2013 facing the world and feeling ‘Exposed.'”<\/p>\n

Each student has enjoyed remarkable success in their years at Ole Miss. The future holds dreams of grad school and then careers in their respective artistic medium.<\/p>\n
