Selected talented artists and designers showed their work in MIAD’s 2012 Juried Senior Exhibition, June 5 – July 28, in the college’s Frederick Layton Gallery.
MIAD faculty chose 23 students’ work from the 2012 Senior Exhibition, with the now graduates representing each of MIAD’s 11 majors. The capstone projects on view included:
- “Young Tongues,” an interactive project by Nate Pyper (Communication Design) that seeks to cultivate conversation among designers and design-thinkers who wish to challenge design’s status quo.
- “Encase,” a sound-dampening system created with peaceful individual workspaces in mind designed by Yasaman Hadipour (Industrial Design).
- “Because it was there,” by Claire Smith (Sculpture), which centers on the merging of mundane, everyday objects with unfamiliar mediums and forms, using found and re-purposed materials.
- “SnoHare,” a lightweight snowshoe made of carbon fiber, aluminum traction and ABS plastic binding that helps reduce fatigue and increase traction for users exploring unbroken terrain – designed by Pavla Mertlikova (Industrial Design).
