Genesis of Form is an exhibition of work by Master of Fine Arts sculptors from Towson University, Maryland Institute College of Art and the University of Maryland College Park. This exhibition deals with the (genesis or) start of a concept or process that culminates in the finished work. Contemporary artists work in multifarious processes and therefore do not have the same starting point; some artists work from sketches, others use words, objects, photos, video and more. The end results, however complete or open-ended, may never resemble the original source material. Whether disjointed or completely cohesive, a dialogue is created between the starting point and the end product. This exhibition gives a glimpse into the many ways in which contemporary artists work and the genesis of their thoughts and processes.
