Alexandria Burns said that Growth, an intaglio ink print, was inspired by her life experiences as a Black woman; the work is a loose representation of one of her closest friends. “In this piece I am drawing connections between the growth and beauty of hair to that of flowers and the beauty of nature,” said the senior art education major. “The composition was designed to make the viewer focus on the hair but to also blend the visuals of the curls and the flowers into a single form.” The piece was on view in Moudy Gallery in the fall as part of the annual TCU Society of Artists and Art Educators show. The exhibition, which included paintings, photos, drawings, prints, sculpture and video, featured the work of 16 studio art and art education honors students.
