It is hard to imagine what they are thinking or feeling, or what they have been through to get where they are today. All a person sees is the physical, weathering effects that human experiences have placed on the human body.<\/p>\n<p>Senior artist Jessica Rodriguez has decided to look deeper than a person\u2019s outer beauty with her new exhibit \u201cAEffect,\u201d which opens with a reception from 7:00pm to 9:00pm on April 11th at the Trahern Student Gallery. The exhibit runs through April 15th.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Through her work in this show, Rodriguez examines the connections between the mental, emotional and physical aspects of humanity. Emotions like heartbreak and fear, paired with violence and confusion are common concepts in her artwork.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is the ability to think and feel that makes us truly dynamic beings,\u201d she said, \u201cbut it is our capability to persevere through thick and thin that makes us who we are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rodriguez is a readmit student who returned to APSU to finish her art degree. She took a three-year hiatus to work full-time as a certified pharmacy technician.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just felt like something was missing,\u201d she said. \u201cI needed to go back and get the B.F.A. I had spent so long working toward. I\u2019m back and I feel like I\u2019ve learned more in this last year than I ever did. Being back in the Trahern feels right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Rodriguez\u2019s exhibit, contact the APSU Department of Art at 931-221-7333.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clarksville, TN &#8211; When you look at a person, all you can see is what is on the outside.
