Technical Services’ “artist in residence” Ish Aberion has a piece in the latest issue of “Digressions,” NSU’s literary magazine. She originally did the work for an art class she took at the Fort Lauderdale Art Museum. Here’s some commentary by the artist on how she created the piece, followed by the piece itself:
“I painted plain brown paper with white gesso, used a fork and my fingers to create texture, than I drew “Hana” with charcoal and colored it with oil pastel. A LOT of smudging involved. 
“Why I created it: This was for my Mixed Media Class this past winter at the Museum of Art. I wanted to de-stress from all my finance MBA stuff. It was comforting to know that if I had to learn how to use a financial calculator that semester at least I had downtime each week to be just creative.
” ‘Hana’ means flower in Japanese and the vase/pot looks Japanesey (is this a word?) to me.”
Congratulations, Ish!
