The Visual Art and Design Showcase (VADS) is a venue for Mizzou undergraduate students to display and discuss their scholarly work in an exhibition setting. During a typical year, the works of students are displayed in Jesse Hall and feature a variety of artistic expression and applied design, including works of photojournalism, graphic design, architectural drawing, theatre set design, painting, sculpting, textile and apparel design, mixed media, and digital storytelling.
One of the awards for the yearly VADS is the MU Libraries Award. The MU Libraries Award winners work is featured in an exhibit display on the main floor of the Ellis Library.
Artist Statement
Fragmented Memories is an assemblage of images from my childhood that represent the parts of my adolescent memories that I feel the most connected to. I have a significant amount of trouble recalling the majority of my childhood memories, they often pull into my brain as hazy and incomplete. . .
