Arts-Based Research in Weaving, Reinforced by Painting and Graphic Design
For Jayna Mikolaitis (CFA’22), juggling a double major in painting and graphic design wasn’t quite enough. She expanded her creative practice to include book making and weaving, the latter of which led to a summer of arts-based research with art [...]education professor Felice Amato following her junior year.
“Weaving kind of incorporated that structural quality that graphic design has, but also had that tangible aspect that painting has,” Jayna says, “I think that being part of a larger research university is incredibly helpful for so many reasons. It did supply me the opportunity with conducting arts-based research in the first place, which was really wonderful.”

School of Visual Arts Contemporary Perspectives Lecture with Jeffrey Gibson
Combining craft media with painting, sculpture, installation, video, and performance, Jeffrey Gibson’s work simultaneously builds on traditions of geometric abstraction found in both modern art and his own cultural heritage. Raised in the [...]United States and abroad, Gibson is a member of The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and is half Cherokee. His work blends his upbringing and diverse interests to explore issues of personal and cultural memory, mining both for moments of intimacy, community, and self-realization. His works often directly or indirectly represent the body, referencing traditions of adornment and performance as disparate as pow-wows and nightclubs, rave culture and 19th-century Iroquois beadwork. His broad output shares an eclecticism and vibrancy that led fellow American Indian artist Jimmie Durham to refer to Gibson as “our Miles Davis.â€
This lecture is a part of the Boston University School of Visual Arts Contemporary Perspectives Lecture Series (CPLS).
