LEVIATHAN: ONTOGENY OF SALVATION
Title
LEVIATHAN: ONTOGENY OF SALVATION.
Creator
LeJeune, Faren L., Burrell, Jason, University of Central Florida
Abstract / Description
Wrought from clay and hardened by fire, the narrative sculptures which comprise this body of work are dualistic symbols of life's brutality and nobility. The philosophical import of the opus is manifested through the convergence of material, process, and form - to instantiate truth and initiate analysis. In my interdisciplinary research, I have come to understand leviathan as an exceptional, universalizing symbol of life's duality and the locus of Man's potential for honorable distinction. I...
Show moreWrought from clay and hardened by fire, the narrative sculptures which comprise this body of work are dualistic symbols of life's brutality and nobility. The philosophical import of the opus is manifested through the convergence of material, process, and form - to instantiate truth and initiate analysis. In my interdisciplinary research, I have come to understand leviathan as an exceptional, universalizing symbol of life's duality and the locus of Man's potential for honorable distinction. I invoke the name in order to instigate reflection upon the concept of the world serpent as a symbolic representation of existential nuance.

Expanding and Shedding the Self: Processing Selfdom Through Painting
Title
Expanding and Shedding the Self: Processing Selfdom Through Painting.
Creator
Lucey, Theresa, Poindexter, Carla, Lotz, Theo, Burrell, Jason, University of Central Florida
Abstract / Description
The absurd perpetual struggle, although entirely without hope of resolution, is the key to life's meaning, or perhaps, meaninglessness. The artist must work to live and live to work and find their place in an absurd world. Find joy in the questioning act of art making, make no attempt to escape the meaninglessness through pacifism, and face the chaos with awareness. I employ self-portraiture as a means to dig deeply into my experience and response to living. Self-portraiture morphs along with...
Show moreThe absurd perpetual struggle, although entirely without hope of resolution, is the key to life's meaning, or perhaps, meaninglessness. The artist must work to live and live to work and find their place in an absurd world. Find joy in the questioning act of art making, make no attempt to escape the meaninglessness through pacifism, and face the chaos with awareness. I employ self-portraiture as a means to dig deeply into my experience and response to living. Self-portraiture morphs along with my experiences and keeps a record of my thought patterns. My body of work is the harvest of my seeds of reflection. Tying together past influences, existential questioning, and a Sisyphean philosophy to a life of art making, I unravel the inner outcomes of my studio practice. It is in retrospect, through distance, that these connections are fully realized.

Exploration of life and decay in technological civilization
Title
Exploration of life and decay in technological civilization.
Creator
Wieser, Mauro, Kovach, Keith, Adams, JoAnne, Burrell, Jason, University of Central Florida
Abstract / Description
Reflecting upon humanity's obligatory use of technology and its place in our collective evolution has become my endeavor. These reflections happen in a studio and through a process that influences the fine art objects produced. In turn the objects both celebrate and warn us of the dynamic and immanent enhanced human. I balance the use of modern machining processes with dark humor to comment and raise questions about the coexistence of man and machine in an increasingly absurd environment.

Title
Designosaurs: Technological Evolution and De-Extinction Through an Advancing Medium.
Creator
Vanzyl, Sean, Kovach, Keith, Adams, JoAnne, Burrell, Jason, University of Central Florida
Abstract / Description
This thesis is an examination of my imperative need to understand dinosaurs and their role in science and art, acting as prehistoric symbols for science and imagination. Like our understanding of dinosaurs, my body of work is evolving simultaneously with the technology of our time. Through the synthesis of artistic language with science and technology, I create dynamic experiences allowing a viewer to witness an extinct living being in its entirety, an otherwise lost experience. By utilizing...
Show moreThis thesis is an examination of my imperative need to understand dinosaurs and their role in science and art, acting as prehistoric symbols for science and imagination. Like our understanding of dinosaurs, my body of work is evolving simultaneously with the technology of our time. Through the synthesis of artistic language with science and technology, I create dynamic experiences allowing a viewer to witness an extinct living being in its entirety, an otherwise lost experience. By utilizing digital modeling, animation techniques, and interactive video games, my work speaks to the power and diversity of digital media's role in visualizing artifacts in our society and culture.

Concrete Painting
Title
Concrete Painting.
Creator
Cafcules, Stephanie, Burrell, Jason, Reedy, Robert, Hall, Scott, University of Central Florida
Abstract / Description
This thesis explores the evolution of my artwork with synthetic materials through influences of the Minimalist and Process Artists of the 1960's and 1970's, inspiration from natural forms, and my exploration of concrete painting. Each work reveals discoveries of different processes and materials, accelerating the creation of new works. It is my hope this thesis will inform viewers about the process and concepts that my work embodies.
