Boise State University will display Ibex, a thesis exhibition by 16 bachelor
of fine arts
candidates, April 1-30 in Gallery 1 (Liberal Arts) and Hemingway Center for
Western Studies (Gallery 2). An opening reception will be held from 6-9 p.m.
on Friday, April 1. The event is free, and free parking for the reception

The following students’ works will be on display:
• Tara Broadhead’s work is part of a series that explores her fascination
with collecting perfume bottles. This part of the series focuses on color
play and categorization.
• Erin Cunningham has created a series of drawings dealing with
relationships, ambiguities and dualities in the separation between good and
evil, child and adult and the difference between high and low art.
• Migel A. Delgado, through the use of mixed media, explores the
assimilation of iconography and the filtration of popular culture into
Mexican culture.
• Molly Green’s series of seven life drawings parallels the presentation of
the female nude to dogs in a dog show.
• Lisa Fogerson questions how humans in a Western society view the “other”
through her representation of honeybees.
• Paul Hanson, an illustrator, creates paintings with personal narrative
from literary sources employing figurative images.

photographic self-portraits.
• Kevin Hines created a three-dimensional environment that explores the
phenomenological effects of black light.
• Kyle Janzen, an illustrator, creates paintings for books covers that
concentrate on the main character of the story.
• Megan Jensen examines the evocative, yet culturally embedded, iconography
of children’s stories and nursery rhymes, exploring their contemporary
significance through various printmaking techniques.
• Sarah Lodwick’s work addresses posters and portraits of modern athletes
and their exploitation by countries and corporations.
• Josie Newton investigates personal identity through graphic design.
• Crystal Paulson’s work is about the family and a sense of loss at the
dinner table with the introduction of television.
