Last year she had work exhibited at the ArtHaus Annual Emerging Artists’ Exhibit in Decorah, Iowa.“Dream Shine” is made from cast porcelain, doilies and fabric stiffener. It is a response to the following challenge: For this project, you will create a significant object to enshrine an intangible idea. Intangible ideas include: power, knowledge, sexuality, religion, destruction, etc. The object can be found or entirely modeled from clay. You will make a rigid mold for the sake of casting.”“I am continuously impressed with Molly¹s critical thinking, research skills, artistic ability, and willingness to take risks,” said Jessica Teckemeyer, Clarke assistant professor of sculpture.For more information, contact the Clarke University Marketing and Communication Office at (563)588-6318.Clarke University is a Catholic, liberal arts and sciences university dedicated to preparing students who positively impact their workplace, family and community.
