UNI Gallery of Art to present spring 2025 student BFA group exhibition
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – The University of Northern Iowa Gallery of Art will present the spring 2025 Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) group exhibition from Monday, April 28 through Friday, May 16. The group exhibition will feature work from six students who are completing their BFA degree at UNI:
Jacob Jordan of Casey, Iowa, presents an exhibition titled “Charcoal Bones.” This exhibition explores how the effects of water defy our known rules, and as an abstract expressionist painter, the artist uses its alien properties to create organic landscapes that evoke the subconscious through new, unfamiliar laws.
Victoria Ulrich of Cedar Falls has put together an exhibition of printmaking and various other media titled, “Taking Flight.” Through her work, Ulrich explores ideas of love and home. Utilizing black and white monotype techniques, she focuses on emotion and expression through mark-making.
Hannah Underwood of Imogene, Iowa, presents an exhibition of printmaking and mixed media titled “Keep It To Yourself.” Through printmaking, animation and collage, Underwood explores her love of the macabre and her experiences of womanhood.
Tessa Ver Steeg of Des Moines, presents an exhibition of ceramics, fibers and printmaking about chronic illness titled “BORN BLUE.” Through mixed media, medical materials, fibers and a color story, Ver Steeg exposes her experience being diagnosed at a young age and living as a chronically ill individual in a society that often discredits and willfully ignores illness.
Anna Whittaker of Iowa City will present a collection of sculptural works titled “Not all Art Belongs in Museums.” Her goal as an artist is to experiment with a variety of materials and processes. Her work explores the idea of form and space through color and light but also delves into personal narratives.
Haeley Wolter of Dubuque presents an exhibition of sculpture and installation titled, “Frozen in Time.” This exhibition explores the ways in which the rigidity of metal captures small and intimate moments of movement and challenges viewers' beliefs about said materials and their natural state.
An opening reception will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 30, in the south lobby of the Kamerick Art Building. All events are free and open to the public. The gallery is located on the main floor of Kamerick Art Building.
