Christine Schmitt Showcases Artwork in Solo Exhibition

"Emotional Ties" was a solo show of new work by Digital and Studio Art senior Christine Schmitt selected from the Gallery's Project Open Call exhibition. Her exhibition was on display in the Project Space Gallery from Jan. 30 to Feb. 24. An opening reception was held Thursday, Feb. 1, from 4 to 6 p.m.

"This collaborative exhibition, which included supporting photographic works by Molly Seidl (SUNY Oneonta '23), featured a wide range of Schmitt's provocative crocheted art such as her 2D abstract wall works, 3D sculptures, wearables and site-specific installations," said SUNY Oneonta Art Gallery Director Sarah Simpson. "Overall, this was an immersive experience where the viewer enters a cohesive and mostly abstract environment that asks you to consider texture, color and shape in relation to the emotions they evoke. Schmitt offered guides in the form of emotive models dressed in the wearables that have since been combined into large-scale installations and in the presence and poses of her stuffed human-like sculptures."

Admission to the galleries and receptions are free and open to the public, and visitors can receive parking passes through the University Police Department. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. For more information, contact Sarah Simpson at Sarah.Simpson@oneonta.edu or 607-436-2445.
