The exhibit, \u201cJudith Shaw Body of Work: The Art of Eating Disorder Recovery,\u201d will be displayed in the Morton J. May Foundation Gallery at Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵAPP, Jan. 19 –\u00a0Feb. 26. The exhibit has been displayed nationally to wide acclaim.<\/p>\n

An opening reception, featuring a talk by local artist Judith Shaw, will be held 5 – 8 p.m. on Jan. 21, in the gallery.<\/h6>\n

Our contemporary world is bombarded with images of body perfection, which often\u00a0causes anxiety. Shaw\u2019s artwork focuses on her journey through this personal issue. “Body of Work” is a sculptural diary of life with an eating disorder. Assemblage-style forms expose complex issues underlying anorexia and the challenges of recovery. This is a raw portrait of an often misunderstood illness.<\/p>\n

The exhibit is co-sponsored by the Body Pride Team student organization in the Office of Personal Counseling, the HERO’s\u00a0student group in the Office of Health and Wellness, and the Art and Design program.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Morton J. May Foundation Gallery is located in the library. Please see University Library<\/a> for gallery hours.<\/p>\n
