Lisa Tyndell Batchelder’s MFA exhibition, Unearthing: Manifestations of Patterns and Forms, explores what she calls "The Verge"—the point where materials and making meet, exploring the philosophical emergence of inspirations and relations in creative forces. Is it metamorphosis, or is it destruction? The artist delves into the origin of patterns and forms, examining whether they arise from divine intervention, pre-conscious awareness, or latent mental predisposition. Batchelder's work challenges traditional boundaries, emphasizing the transformative power of materials shaping new artistic expressions.
