The exhibit is a mixed media series and depicts landscapes, abandoned buildings, factories, blight and power lines. Each serve as metaphors for loss, grief, enduring hardships and surviving, according to a press release.
Mehaffey is a Muncie artist, who also teaches watercolor painting and mixed media arts at Cornerstone. Her work, according to the release, incorporates collage, photography, watercolor painting and drawing. A lot of concepts in the work are derived from personal histories of growth, redemption, feminism, survivorship and grief.
“Studies in Isolation” will be on display throughout November.
