Faculty artists featured in the exhibition include Bill Allen, Amanda Buckley, Moira Denson, Susan Hergenrather, Joe Hicks, Heather McMordie, Ally Morgan, Sal Pirrone, Mary Proenza, Tianette Simpson, and Richelle Soper.<\/strong><\/p>\n Visible or not in a final art or design piece, we all work through iterations of process and concept to achieve our strongest work. Within the exhibition, we\u2019ve broadly interpreted this theme. Bill Allen\u2019s hand-beaded Wedding Dress Ensemble <\/em>is one in a series of over 60 evening wear garments he has designed and constructed to date. Amanda Buckley offers a group of three early spring oil paintings that share subject, palette, and a sense of surface, highlighting her painterly sensibility. Susan Hergenrather\u2019s two abstract ink compositions are so symbiotic that she placed them in a single frame to best communicate their content. Integral to the power of Moira Denson\u2019s works are her prolific sketchbook practice and ongoing engagement in workshops. Together, Joe Hicks\u2019 ceramics pieces create a composition demonstrating \u201cthe iterations of carbon trap shino glazes across different clay bodies and slips.\u201d Heather McMordie compounds printmaking\u2019s iterative nature as an art of multiples and variations through her \u201cscreenprint assemblages\u201d and a six-woodblock print. As a pair, Ally Morgan\u2019s related gouache paintings emphasize her \u201creverence for the natural world and humanity\u2019s complex relationship with it.\u201d\u00a0 Sal Pirrone includes Tennis Ball,<\/em> a 2014 sculpture, and Circles of Memory<\/em>, a 2025 memorial project, each marking an evolution in his practice of cast imagery and the relationship of materials to memory. Through numerous work sessions and thousands of brushstrokes, Mary Proenza investigates linked imagery to varied expressive ends in three paintings referencing her studio space. Tianette Simpson\u2019s lively iterations seemingly include every visual and conceptual interpretation of keys. Richelle Soper\u2019s wall and floor sculptures explore implications of two- and three-dimensional space and combinations of traditional materials and unexpected, found objects.<\/p>\n Banner image: Detail from Amanda Buckley’s Stems<\/em>, oil on linen<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" November 14, 2025 \u2013 January 24, 2026 Panel Discussion and Reception, Wednesday, January 21, 2026: Panel Discussion, 4-5pm, Ballston Center Auditorium Reception, 5-7pm, Cody Gallery The School of Design and Art at Marymount University proudly presents \u201cIterations,\u201d an exhibition of works by faculty who teach in our Art and Design, Fashion Design, and […]<\/p>\n\n
