    Andi Austin, BFA in Fine Art
    "Stripped"
    Andi Austin is originally from southern West Virginia, where her family has been affected by coal mining both historically and currently. Her work stems from ideas of mining, Appalachian culture, and her own memories of the landscape. She plans to pursue teaching and art therapy.

    Statement: West Virginia is often viewed, from an outside perspective, as simply a source of coal, and faceless miners to remove it. To someone who grew up on its mountains, however, the vibrant culture, hard-working communities, and lush environment far out-weigh the value of the mineral, making the container more important that what is contained. My work explores the priority of the mineral and the effects of mountaintop removal mining in the back counties of southern West Virginia.

    "The Skin Within"

    Karen Voelker, BFA in Photography
    "Solus"
    Statement: Every person spends time alone at some point in his or her life, whether for a minute or a long period of time. Solus conveys the quiet, and sometimes empty, associations with aloneness. Through desolate landscapes and lone objects, I explore all aspects of being alone, from loneliness to isolation, to abandonment, to solitude.
