Land Cut by Ashley Phillips

Art students Ashlyn Morrison and Ashley Phillips are showing their senior presentations in Bloch Gallery this week, April 10-14. The students have worked to create their pieces to fill the gallery since the semester began.

Phillips’ show is titled “The Anatomy of Cartography.” Phillips created maps out of several different media, depicting various cities, rivers, and roads in Alabama.

Phillips even included maps of Montevallo made from dripping ink.

Phillips’ favorite piece was created by layering Alabama’s elevation with ink. Then she placed cut out roads from road maps onto the elevation map.

Morrison’s show, “Traveling Vicariously,” depicts her friends and family members posing in various places where they had traveled within the previous year.

Morrison enjoyed creating a painting of her best friend, Cena Woodall, who traveled to Ireland to study abroad.

Both shows will remain in the gallery until April 14 at 4 p.m.
