Goodall Gallery, Columbia College
April 1–May 1, 2010
Reception April 10, 4:00 p.m.–5:30 p.m.

The Goodall Gallery at Columbia College will present its annual exhibition of work by senior art students: Caroline Bradley, Melissa Harmon, Kayla Murff, Sandrina Preudhomme, Melanie Troidl, Sabrina White, and Lindsay Radford Wiggins titled Offbeat. The exhibition will be held from April 1 through May 1, with an artists' reception on Saturday April 10, from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the Goodall Gallery. The featured artists are displaying works covering a variety of media and content created during their senior undergraduate year.
 
Caroline Bradley’s works include both paintings and drawings. Her paintings are based on “the wear and tear of life that eventually fades,” and her drawings are self-portraits that “give her a voice to help through the darkness and reveal her personality.”  Melissa Harmon's black and white photographs express vulnerability, boldness, and “a heart lost in a place that words cannot reach…pieces of her life that she normally hides away.” Kayla Murff's monotypes symbolize changes in life through representations of seasons in nature.  Sandrina Preudhomme's paintings are “based upon the beauty of animals that humans tend to take for granted when they are taken out of their natural environments and placed in captivity.”  Melanie Troidl uses photographs and monotypes to display “a different perspective of the world through images of wildflowers and to find the beauty in what others dismiss as unsightly.”  Sabrina White's works explore the “interworkings of innocence and knowing and seek to convey an understanding that black youth could grow into, one that goes beyond the physical and explores their hidden depths and pasts.”  Lindsay Radford Wiggins' mixed media pieces and prints use an array of symbols that are comprised in an allegoric landscape to convey memories and dreams.
 
The Goodall Gallery is located on the Columbia College campus on North Main Street. Turn onto Columbia College Drive and into the first gate to the left. The Gallery is located in the Spears Music/Art Center and is open Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. For further information, please contact The Goodall Gallery at 803.786.3899.
