As an African American woman born and raised in Texas, it is common for me to be the only black face in white spaces. Being framed as the "other" has been ingrained in my existence, affecting the way I navigate through life. Throughout my time in graduate school, I have constructed my own framework of identity. Referencing history and its permanent effects on the present, my work explores the internal and external complexities of being a black woman in America today."</p>Cobbled Sketchbook Page2021-05-13T08:30:22-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1796247/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1796247/"><img alt="Cobbled Sketchbook Page" title="Cobbled Sketchbook Page" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1796247/small/"/></a></p><p>Work of art of Ballpoint Pen by artist Jordan Black as part of a 2020 MFA Exhibition, entitled "Heeding the Underbelly"</p>Cezanne Painting2014-02-14T09:18:24-06:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc275009/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc275009/"><img alt="Cezanne Painting" title="Cezanne Painting" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc275009/small/"/></a></p><p>This monochromatic painting depicts the artist Paul Cezanne in the countryside with some of his plain-air paintings and on the left hand edge text and dialogue unrelated to Cezanne.</p>Gotta Gun2014-02-14T09:18:24-06:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc275007/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc275007/"><img alt="Gotta Gun" title="Gotta Gun" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc275007/small/"/></a></p><p>This artwork consists of two portions, the top a grid, eight by seven, of colored squares and the lower dialogue between Caroline and Steve.</p>Richardson Endorses Obama2014-02-14T09:18:24-06:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc275006/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc275006/"><img alt="Richardson Endorses Obama" title="Richardson Endorses Obama" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc275006/small/"/></a></p><p>Bill Richardson, Governor of New Mexico, stands next to President Barack Obama.

Traditionally, the roles of a new mother have been handed down from generation to generation. A mother teaches her daughter how to soothe her fussy infant, her domestic responsibilities, to maintain her feminine mystique. Though many of these traditions of mouth to ear to mouth familial heritage continue, today’s society inundated women with visual language to remind them that although they can challenge the traditions and their choice to participate, those same discarded ideals of how to act or perform will continue to tug at the shoulder.

I counted my carbs, meal prepped, and joined the high school volleyball team (For exercise of course. Heaven forbid it be for fun). All growing up, I always assumed that things would get so much easier when I stepped into adulthood. I would be comfortable in my body. Spoiler Alert, that didn’t happen. Before this starts to sound like a Judy Blume novel, let me explain. A shot of apple cider vinegar, 13 vitamins, gluten free diet, and portion control. These are all aspects of my routine that I dread but they keep me going. The concept of routine as composition really resonated with me when I first made these dietary changes. Much like repeated elements in a composition, repeated elements in my routine are what keep me going, help me function, and make me a successful composition (or human, whatever you want to call it). So why do I get bogged down by the objects that are supposed to be helping me? As a woman who has been on some sort of diet since age 12, it was difficult to come to terms with the fact that your body is dependent on another object (or twenty) to fully function. By creating functional pieces specifically made to accompany these un enjoyable aspects, I intend to make the elements of my routine that I dread, something to look forward to."</p>Visibility & Control in the Vendee2018-01-23T05:28:11-06:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1062087/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1062087/"><img alt="Visibility & Control in the Vendee" title="Visibility & Control in the Vendee" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1062087/small/"/></a></p><p>This article uses fieldwork and the concept of relative aging to argue that the system of canals within the Vendee region of western France were begun in the tenth and eleventh centuries in conjunction with the Maillezais Abbey relocation and rebuilding.</p>Luck.O.Matic2021-05-13T08:30:24-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1796278/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1796278/"><img alt="Luck.O.Matic" title="Luck.O.Matic" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1796278/small/"/></a></p><p>Work of art of mixed media by artist Caron Dessoye as part of a 2020 MFA Exhibition, entitled "Lucky You".</p>Trappings2019-08-29T10:25:12-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1538808/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1538808/"><img alt="Trappings" title="Trappings" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1538808/small/"/></a></p><p>Artist Statement from the MFA Exhibition: "Trappings is a huntress’ vanity room installation, exhibiting the duality of being feminine while utilizing masculine skills and traits. Keela Dee Dooley is a metalsmith from southwest Virginia, in the Appalachian Mountains where southern culture has gender expectations, stereotypes, and misconceptions. Working in what is considered a “man’s world” she challenges the expected role of a young woman by being skilled in a traditionally male dominated field, ferrous metalsmithing, and referencing the traditionally male dominated practice of hunting. Breaking the boundaries of industrial equipment and material, she creates elegant yet intimidating wearable sculptures out of steel on the CNC Plasma Cutter."</p>Personal Response to Digital Frontiers Roundtable: Chance Dunlap2012-10-14T21:37:02-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc109702/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc109702/"><img alt="Personal Response to Digital Frontiers Roundtable: Chance Dunlap" title="Personal Response to Digital Frontiers Roundtable: Chance Dunlap" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc109702/small/"/></a></p><p>This response paper is for Dr. Jennifer Way's graduate art history seminar on 20th-21st century art.

Being a young immigrant, the only constants in my life were my sense of home and the common landscape on both sides of the border. In order to create a connection of that time and place, I investigate materials that are symbolic to my Mexican heritage and my life in the United States through the combination of traditional handwork and digital fabrication. I utilize various materials such as clay and corn husks, unifying them through the formal elements of value, line, and shape. My work becomes abstracted to symbolize the passage of time and the way in which our memories are imperfect representations of events."</p>Double Dare2020-02-13T08:01:04-06:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1613641/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1613641/"><img alt="Double Dare" title="Double Dare" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1613641/small/"/></a></p><p>Artist Statement from the MFA exhibition: In my recent work, I explore my identity as a first-generation American, using my painting practice to think about early memories of living in-between two cultures. These remembered moments allow a space for me to consider how both cultures merge. Portraying vivid memories through colorful recognizable objects and body parts, memories take on a new context, showing the passage of time, and reflecting on how memories take on new meaning. My desire to save these moments relates to my wish to name what makes me belong, and what marks me as unique, within the two cultures in which I exist.</p>
