MURRAY, Ky. 鈥� The Department of Art & Design at 麻豆视频官网入口 is pleased to host Kacey Slone as the Patricia L. Summerville Artist in Printmaking on Monday, March 10 - Tuesday, March 11.
Slone will host 4 Zine Workshops with Art & Design classes and will host a fifth Zine Workshop open to all Art & Design majors. Slone will also give a lecture on her work on March 10 at 12:30 p.m. in the Price Doyle Fine Arts Center Room 623. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Slone was raised in a cornfield in southern Indiana and spent most of her time growing up on back roads and meadows surrounding it. She received her Master of Fine Arts in Intermedia at the University of Texas at Arlington in 2018.
Her work investigates identity, memory and how place affects one鈥檚 belonging. By using familiar objects, Slone hopes to connect with others through collective memory. Slone recently wrapped up a two-person exhibition, Tailspinner, with Laura Camila Medina and EasySide curators at ArtsFortWorth in Fort Worth, Texas. She serves on the board at Harrison County Arts and has taught workshops at KMAC Contemporary Art Museum and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. Slone co-founded JuniorJr, a Risograph press/studio, with long time friend and colleague Kathryn Combs, and each year the studio hosts Kentuckiana Zine Fest. Slone teaches at Indiana University Southeast, Auburn University and is the visual communications program assistant at IvyTech Sellersburg.
The Patricia L. Summerville Lecture Series is made possible through an endowment to the Department of Art and Design from Patricia Summerville, who graduated from Murray State University in 1972 with a Bachelor of Science in Education, after attending the University for only three years. She then earned three additional degrees, including a Master of Science in Education with a major in supervision in 1976 from the University of Akron; a Master of Healthcare Administration, with a major in Hospital Administration in 1982 from Xavier University; and a Juris Doctorate from Chase College of Law at Northern Kentucky University in 1994. She was admitted to the bar the following year. Summerville鈥檚 career included teaching art for six years, serving as an administrator for hospitals and healthcare facilities for 20 years and practicing law for five years before retiring in 2003. She died in March 2022.
