Join us in duPont Gallery on March 12th at 5pm for a gallery talk with Origins series artist Samantha Van Heest (UMW Class of 2020). Van Heest utilizes still life, found objects, and textiles to explore our relationships and rituals with the seemingly mundane. Her hyperrealistic renderings of everyday domestic objects memorializes ephemeral discards and invites conversation around the politics of consumerism.
