The Sarah Moody Gallery of Art has opened up after winter break and is starting the year off with the 2026 “Faculty Biennial Exhibition.” The exhibition opened with a public reception on Jan. 15.
The gallery contains art of all different sizes — one sculpture stretches from floor to ceiling — and a range of mediums, including drawing, painting, sculpture and digital art.
Twenty-four faculty members from the art and art history department currently have their art displayed in the gallery. The exhibit highlights the various forms of art in which each faculty member specializes.
At the very start of the gallery is a three-dimensional piece titled “Flag 4 (Waiting Hands and Arms).” It’s made from an antique quilt top and acrylic yarn and hangs from a flagpole.
“I think a lot in my work about the tension between slow craft, and what technology has done to craft,” said Bethany Moody, professor of fine arts and the piece’s creator. The piece blends natural materials like the quilt with cheaper synthetic materials like acrylic, which Moody likes contrasting.
Professor John Klosterman created the piece, “Junkyard Days,” inspired by his childhood memories. Klosterman and his friends would go to junkyards and take apart junked cars. The piece is a woodcut print of coyotes standing atop a junked car.
“I like to play around with anthropomorphic figures. I like to think of myself and my friends as these almost coyote tricksters, but ultimately good individual figures,” Klosterman said. “Growing up, my experience was ‘don’t come home until the light comes on,’ so my friends and I would go out and we would find things to get into.”
Meg Howton, an instructor of ceramics, created the piece “Blush and Tell,” which casts an interesting effect on the wall it’s displayed on.
“I’m a ceramics artist, but I have developed this glaze that can be on its own, so it’s like a fully formed piece of glaze,” Howton said. “The whole sculpture is made of this, and then the back has acrylic paint that kind of blushes onto the wall, giving an illusion of light behind it.”
The faculty in the art and art history department have a wide range of media and styles, and this biennial exhibition aims to showcase that fact. The exhibition will be open to the public in the SMGA until Feb. 20.
