Abstract:
eternity fleeting, the MFA thesis exhibition of Emily Fussner, was displayed at George
Mason University in March of 2019. The exhibition held materializations and
reimaginations of ephemeral moments: an elegy of familiar, often overlooked patterns
found on the periphery of our daily lives. This written thesis follows the exhibit’s layout
and artworks. It demonstrates the development and influences of the work while
examining the significance of place, the body, material, and process, through the lens of
attention, care, and possibility.
