Celebrating twenty-four years the "Annual Juried Exhibition" continues to be one of the Department of Visual Arts most highly anticipated undergraduate exhibitions. This diverse show supports the production of new work made in a variety of mediums including painting, sculpture, print, video, and photography. Exhibited works were selected by a professional jury who consider creativity, concept, materiality and technique. This year’s show is indicative of the resilience and dedication our students continue to demonstrate.

In Carbon Flurry, artists Danielle Petti, Racquel Rowe, Emelie Robertson and Behnaz Fatemi conduct new creative interventions and experimentation as they animate the engineered material biochar. Created using a process of pyrolysis--a chemical decomposition of matter through heat--biochar is a material remnant of waste management technologies that seek to mitigate climate change, by capturing carbon and storing it in soil for hundreds or thousands of years. In Carbon Flurry, the artists respond to the agency of biochar, allowing the material to take on new layers of meaning beyond its utility as the biproduct of waste. Petti, Rowe, Robertson and Fatemi emphasize the affectual and tactile qualities of its form, as well as the potentiality of biochar as matter; how it abstracts geologic time, fossilizing abundant carbon-emitting chemicals and holding them in stasis.
