Warner Gallery features Confluence, Works By Past and Present Faculty

Confluence features the work of visual arts faculty who have taught at Millbrook over the past decade. The show includes the work of six ceramists (Adriel Tong, Ted Lindsay, Dave Kaufmann, Maggie Dubler, Nicholas Newcomb, and Jono Pandolfi), three photographers (Sarah MacWright, John Kildahl, and Jacques Charlas), one printmaker (Rick McWilliams), and one painter (Bill Hardy).

 

For current faculty, Bill Hardy, Rick McWilliams, Sarah MacWright, and Adriel Tong, Confluence provides an opportunity to share work from their summers. Bill Hardy’s paintings grow from a cross-country road trip in a twenty-four-year-old, white convertible named “Wally.” Rick McWilliams’ prints build on a monoprint lesson from the spring semester, demonstrating the potential of the palette knife to render form and texture in ink. Sarah MacWright’s ziatypes are some of the first she has made in a palladium-based process, having just learned it in July. Adriel Tong, the department’s newest member, is sharing work from his MFA thesis project at the Rhode Island School of Design.

 

Confluence presents a series of conversations between faculty, past and present, and an opportunity to wonder about the different kinds of teaching that grow from such disparate practices.
