On display at Maine College of Art, 522 Congress Street, Portland, Maine, through January 14, 2014. Senior Graphic Design student

The installation is constructed with just under 1,000 cardboard pizza bases and 1,000 paper plates, and was built with assistance from classmates and friends.

FROM THE GROUND: ARCHITECTURE OF A FAMILY, Deborah A. Bates '83 (1938 - 2013) | Through February 20, Charles C. Thomas Gallery, 2nd floor, Porteous Building
Bates incorporated various techniques in her work, including collage, drawing, and painting in order to highlight the relationship between the structural geometry of architecture and the geometric shapes that represent shared DNA. Finding particular inspiration in the fact that a maternal line of women bestowed upon her family four generations of continuity, Bates grounded her art in personal experience and delved into her consciousness to process the experience of her homecoming. In so doing, Bates acknowledged the constancy of women and argued that their silent contributions do not go unnoticed.
