ONU art professor's works in Bluffton University gallery show

Emily Jay has 34 photographs on exhibition
Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, November 15, 2016

By Monty Siekerman
Ohio Northern University Art Professor Emily Jay points to a plaster mold of her feet that she photographed to show how landscape affects us. How does this photo show landscape with no trees, mountains, or oceans?

Emily explained that she buried the plaster molds in the dirt in Norway. Upon digging them up a month later, she discovered them cracked, moldy, and slimy...thus, the terrain and weather in Norway affected her molds.

This is just one of 34 photographs on display in the Bluffton University Sauder Visual Arts Center's Grace Albrecht Gallery on Spring Street.
