| Full Flow, Kathleen Thum |
Drawings and paintings by Kathleen Thum, Assistant
Professor of Art at Clemson University, will be on display Nov. 10-Dec. 12 in
Thompson Gallery of the Roe Art Building on the Furman University campus. Thompson
Gallery hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday. A reception for the
artist is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 10, 6:30-8:30 p.m., with a gallery talk by
Thum at 7 p.m., in the Roe Art Building.
The exhibition, Residuum, is free and open
to the public, and is presented by the Furman Department of Art.
In an artist’s statement, Thum describes her work
as “a hybrid of various human physiological systems and man-made manufacturing
systems.” She depicts these systems through rendering abstract networks of
forms, lines, and color. Says Thum, “Like our internal anatomy, the structures
in my works are layered, linear, flowing, clustered, open, dense, intertwined;
interpreting gravity, fluids, gases, and pressures. The complex relationship
between the man-made and the natural has become increasing influential in my
artwork. The drawings evolve as I use color and layering to create new imagery
based on the fascinating inter-workings of systems both functional and
dysfunctional.”
