Wendy Wainwright, a Bachelors of Fine Arts student at Austin Peay State University, recently posed the question, \u201cWhat is the marginalia of the mind?\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI appear to be present in the here and now,\u201d she said, \u201cbut really I live in my imagination, a parallel universe that is both absurd and romantic, where anthromorphism runs rampant \u2013 an entirely separate world, an existence all my own.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wainwright will explore this idea with a new exhibit of her artwork, \u201cMarginalia,\u201d which opens with a reception from 7:00pm to 9:00pm on April 18th, in the Trahern Student Gallery. The show runs through April 22nd, and is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI live in this world trapped, confined and claustrophobic in the spaces created by those before me and surrounded by the absurdities that have manifested themselves in the name of civilization,\u201d she said. \u201cI cannot leave, but I can be amused.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wainwright\u2019s work is inspired by her imagination and expressed freely and originally through a blend of styles encompassing folk art, impressionism, sophisticated graphic art, whimsical gothic elements and touches of surrealism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of my images begin with a commonplace foundation \u2013 a room, a building, a public space,\u201d she said. \u201cWe spend our entire lives in these spaces and most of us do not question how they came into being, nor do we necessarily appreciate neither the enduring qualities of structures, nor the strange absurdities of civilization. For an example I suggest houseplants \u2013 no sooner had we built walls to separate ourselves from nature than did we bring nature indoors to be enjoyed on our own terms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the exhibit, contact the APSU Department of Art at 931-221-7333.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clarksville, TN &#8211; The notes or comments a reader scribbles next to a passage in a book, in an effort to illuminate or make sense of what is written, is often referred to as \u201cmarginalia.\u201d Those annotations unwittingly change, forever, the content of that book.
