Memory, Heritage, and Home in Momentos |
In his latest body of work, Momentos, Hector Del Campo celebrates his heritage as a First Generation Cuban American through pieces inspired by childhood memories and meaningful life experiences. This exhibit features mixed-media collages and paintings that incorporate personal keepsakes from his youth, offering a reflection of his culture, family history, and identity.
Every piece tells a story that connects to Hector's family, and he hopes that viewers will find an intimate connection through the titles. Several titles are presented in both Spanish and English, honoring his family's language while also making his work accessible to non-Spanish-speaking audiences. Del Campo's goal with this show is "to inspire viewers and show them a part of my family and culture that they didn't know before."

The Art of Daydreaming in Murray's New Show
|
Brittany Murray's show, Sitting, waiting, watching, dreaming, is full of soft color palettes and beautiful compositions of clouds and flowers. It is serene and perfectly captures the feeling of being swept away in a daydream. Murray's expert use of color and sharp lines to highlight different aspects of each composition perfectly complements each scene of clouds and flowers. Sitting, waiting, watching, dreaming is a very serene show that pairs bright colors in an immersive, inviting way, inviting the viewer to meditate on the happy aspects of our imagination, and also pairs different colors and compositions to emphasize the power of color.

| Get to Know Our Interns: Ruth |
"I am an international student from Ethiopia Majoring in studio art at Taylor University. I came to know about the Harrison Center through a class trip I did for one of the first Fridays.
I have always liked art and have been doing it since childhood. One of my greatest passions is to be an architect. I like the idea of having a well-built and aesthetically pleasing environment. One of the ways this internship will help me is by enabling me to engage with the community and understand what people want to see more of in spaces."
