Abstract

This writing is a companion to the MFA thesis projects that I presented in the Spring 2022 semester at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, Arkansas. My thesis work did not exist as a singular, solo exhibition in a traditional gallery space like it did for most of the artists in my graduating cohort; rather, I completed three different but substantial and interrelated projects, many of which occurred outside of traditional art spaces: the Office of Possible Projects at the Fayetteville Public Library, the Cake Stand Biennale which took place across the city of Fayetteville, Arkansas, and the office of possible projects’ exhibition of alternative exhibition spaces which occurred in/around/beyond the University of Arkansas SculptureX Gallery. This writing is as an accompaniment to these projects and will eventually take form as an artist publication.
