yes I will Yes.

It's been down for a few weeks, but I wanted to post these pictures from the "Yes" show curated by the Student Gallery club, which ran in the Reference Gallery. It featured artwork by Nick Geankoplis, Dylan Glasgow, Lexy Eich, Lainie Vreeland, Kath McGaughey, Sarah Beck, Victoria Buck, Marco Ciafarone, Kevin Burnopp, Jill Colbert, Pierre Miller, Alejandra Rubio, and Beau Kissler. For me, the most striking piece was Billy Euler's Duvessa (according to the tag, executed in the medium of "stuff"), a puppet-size sculpture of a figure who seemed to be one third witch, one third pirate, and one third pine cone.
