MURFREESBORO — An
MTSU faculty member is preparing to burst through the time-space continuum artistically
and she invites you to join her.
Assistant Professor Kathleen O’Connell will discuss her art
exhibit, “Crossing Time and Space,” at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 31, in the
Special Collections area on the fourth floor of the James E. Walker Library.
O’Connell cites time, space and travel as major elements of
her creative process. The exhibit highlights the book art she has produced over
the last seven years. O’Connell also works in printmaking, drawing and
sculpture and incorporates aspects of these media into her artists’ books.
Born and raised in
Plattsburgh, N.Y., O’Connell earned a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from the
State University of New York in Plattsburgh and a master’s degree in fine arts
from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Prior to moving to Murfreesboro,
O’Connell lived for a time in Lima, Peru.
O’Connell’s exhibit, which is
free and open to the public, will be on display between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
through Thursday, Jan. 31. For more information, contact Dr. Alan Boehm at 615-904-8501
or alan.boehm@mtsu.edu. To view photographs
