“He has always been a child at heart, and for him to be able to experience these works is very special.” “I am most excited for my father to see some of my work in person,” Lehmann added. Through the use of familiar materials like crayons, collages and neon rope, he said he hopes to trigger a sense of familiarity and awe in viewers. He sees his works as vessels that allow viewers into interior spaces that advance and recede. It’s also an investigation on how media and imagery from childhood identity.” I pull imagery from my own childhood which makes the work personal. “However, all of this is done through the adult lens. “ is about childhood and play, particularly at the intersection of technology and imagination,” Lehmann said. Jacob Lehmann - a Clemson, South Carolina, native and former high school visual arts teacher with aspirations of working in higher education after completing his MFA - said he looks forward to exhibiting two of the large-scale multimedia works he has created this semester. “Each artist designer creates work motivated by ideas that drive them, but collectively, the show reflects an awareness of those larger political, economic, social and environmental issues that shape contemporary life.” “Audiences can expect to see works in a broad spectrum of media dealing with a range of contemporary global issues … from the Anthropocene to generational trauma,” Tomasula said. She said she is most proud of how the first-year cohort worked together to set up the exhibition and expressed excitement for the Notre Dame community to view the work of these artists for the first time. Professor of painting and drawing and AAHD director of graduate studies Maria Tomasula guided the MFA students in organizing the exhibition, which will remain open to the public until Jan. The annual show is the first for the artists to showcase their work as graduate students and includes ceramics, sculpture, industrial design, visual communication design, painting and photography pieces.
