Art Majors Revealed in 'Between Moments’

Six aspiring Westmont art graduates will exhibit their capstone projects at “Between Moments” from April 4-May 4 in the Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art. A free, public opening reception will celebrate the graduating senior art majors on Thursday, April 4, from 4-6 p.m.

The students include Danielle Anderson of Palm Desert; Clare Carey of Bonsall; Jordan Cuskey of Havertown, Pennsylvania; Blair Hopper of Little Rock, Arkansas; Logan Miller of Ladera Ranch, and Hailey Otto of San Diego.

The exhibition offers diverse themes focused on identity, relationships and place. “The title, ‘Between Moments,’ explores the beauty and wonder that each of these students have discovered in the unacknowledged spaces within our daily lives,” says Nathan Huff, associate professor of art.

The art projects range in media from charcoal drawings, oil paintings on panel, painted bedspreads and tables, sculpture, assemblage on mirrors, and projected videos over painted structures.

“The students have been engaged with personal narratives focused on the passage of time, the distance felt in relationship, the engagement with a stranger, a collision of sacred spaces and interior domestic spaces, a personal exploration of warring factions inside of self, and 200 small paintings of friends and family that create a bedroom tableau full of nostalgia,” Huff says.

Ken and Francie Jewesson sponsor the exhibition.
