Abstract

The following thesis outlines the creation of Catherine Reinhart's Master of Fine Arts thesis exhibition, displayed in the Art & Design Gallery at the University of Kansas, March 12 –16, 2012. Whispers of light | workings of splendor was a site–specific textile installation created through the methods of studio research, material studies, and literary investigation. The work deals conceptually with the dichotomous relationship between the human experience and the metaphysical realities of the Christian God, as explained through Holy Scripture. The result was an engaging textile installation that the viewer could enter and be enveloped. In conclusion, this installation is a genesis for subsequent site-specific works utilizing fiber and textile processes.
