“Tear Out of Me This Memory” MFA Thesis Exhibition by Amy Edler

Join us in the UAF Art Gallery for MFA candidate Amy Edler’s thesis exhibition, “Tear Out of Me This Memory”, a three-part installation and performance that weaves together quilting lineage, psychology and somatic ritual through repetitive block printing on unfired porcelain. Experience an installation that moves through cycles of creation, destruction and what remains.

The Master of Fine Arts in Art at the University of Alaska Fairbanks is a rigorous, studio-centered graduate program designed to help emerging artists refine their creative voice and professional practice. With individualized faculty mentorship, small cohort support and concentrations across diverse media, students engage deeply with contemporary art issues and the unique cultural context of the circumpolar North, culminating in a solo thesis exhibition.
