Abstract

Nina Vroemen's MFA Graduate Projects (Non-Thesis).
Echoes, reflections, cycles—the notion of elemental looping is the place of departure for this exhibition that examines the agency and legacies of materials extracted from the ground–and those released back into it. Intertwining unlikely threads–personal, political, scientific, and mythological.
