The University of West Georgia Department of Art’s Bobick Gallery is pleased to present Memphis-based artist, Cynthia Thompson’s exhibit, Forlorn.
Thompson uses the body as the site of personal investigation. She explores the physical manifestations of denial, shame and oppression by examining issues surrounding the female body. Her meticulously crafted work utilizes hand bookbinding, digital photography, screen-printing, letterpress and relief.
The exhibition opens on Jan. 12 and ends on Feb. 9. There will be an artist talk on Feb. 9 at 3:30 p.m. in room 203 of UWG’s Humanities building. A reception in the gallery will follow at 4:30 p.m. All events are free and open to the public.
