Appalachian State University proudly presents Twenty-Five: A Mixed Media Series by Rebecca B. Farris. The exhibition will be available to view from November 17, 2009 through December 7, 2009 in the Plemmon’s Student Union’s Looking Glass Gallery. 

A reception will be held December 7, 2009 from 6:00-7:30 p.m. at the gallery, refreshments will be provided.

The Twenty-Five series integrates found paper objects with numbers, which are universally recognizable symbols, as a way to create balanced compositions and engage the viewer with a universal language composed of ordinary characters. The resulting images are a fresh, unconventional way to use the experimental media she has chosen.
