AIB Photography BFA Thesis: Marrow Mending featuing the work of Liz Affa, Kate Bullen, Malin Sjoberg, and Tiffany Ulrich


April 30th from 6 - 8 PM at the Art Institute of Boston Gallery
601 Newbury Street, Boston, MA

This is the fourth BFA Photography exhibition for the 2010 graduation class at the Art Institute of Boston.



Liz Affa's work deals with how her perception of men has been tainted because of thought patterns she has inherited from generations of women in her family. The work is multi-media based involving illustration on fabric then sewn on a sampler and stained. Themes of domesticity and the idea of the house vs the home are inter-woven throughout the work.

Kate Bullen's photographs transport you to a constructed reality that is both inviting and disturbing. The black and white photographs trigger a sense of familiarity within these constructed worlds.

Malin Sjoberg's still lives explore psychological states of the mind as well as weaving in stories from her families past.


Tiffany Ulrich explores the idea of materials and their value and what happens when you strip them of their worth or elevate them through sentimentality. Tiffany's sculptures are embedded with her own family mythology as she attempts to mend the issues that have occurred to her family within her lifetime.
