CLASS OF 2011

*Over the next week (or three), I’ll be posting MFA 2011 highlights from the usual suspects. This post will continue to expand as I review more work.

*apologies in advance: tumblr is behaving erratically and removing some of the link coding for these artist’s pages. I will try to remedy with the next update. Thanks!
