The Lamson Library and Learning Commons is pleased to welcome the art of Brian Moriarty who received his BFA in 2 and 3 Dimensional Design during May 2009 Commencement exercises. Of his work, Brian wrote the following:

“….My focus is on humans as destructive creatures. The way I see it, there are three main sources of this destructive nature found in human existence. Those destructive behaviors are of nature, society, and self. The focus I am working with here is the destruction of self, whether it is from depression, psychosis, rage, or other mental disabilities. The marks are meant to be visceral responses to that certain self-destructive emotion…..My quality of making the mark in my art is what helps compliment this violent behavior. The mark is intended to reflect the inner anger, sorrow, or whichever negative emotion that the piece conveys.”

Brian’s images will be on display until mid-August.
