An Update From Professor Holly Hanessian
From FSU Art Faculty Holly Hannessian:
“Last year, I slowly put together a new studio, redirecting my energy inward. As 2016 approached, a series of new digital works emerged, as well as a sequence of activities still flourishing around my Touch in Real TimeProject. I was included in the Arrowmont show, Touch: Interactive Craft, in the Sandra J. Blain Gallery, curated by Emily Zilber and which runs through March 11th. Bri Murphey included my work in the Pixels, Voxels exhibition at the Lux Center for the Arts, in Lincoln, NE, running through March 25. In addition, I will have a solo show of Touch in Real Time at the at Ohr-O’Keefe Museum in Biloxi, MS, which runs March 12th through May 5th.”
