“This exhibition is entirely interactive.
My identity is something that has been permanently formed and shaped by everyone I’ve ever interacted with. I make art to reverse that control–I allow people to interact with a part of myself, and leave an impact on them. I am not the rock on the shore, battered and smoothed by the waves; I am the ocean itself–ever-shifting and impossible to contain. Each piece discusses a different aspect of my identity, and the different ways I have been formed into who I am today.
Take the time to get to know me, and maybe you’ll get to know yourself too.”
Disgusting//divine was the senior thesis show of Finnley Lewis and their studio arts senior peers. It was up from April 2nd through April 5th, 2025, in the Schlosberg Gallery at Montserrat College of Art. It is the culmination of a full year of work, and includes a wide variety of techniques and materials, including bead couching, crochet, machine rug tufting, sculpting, quilting, weaving, and laser etching.
