Housed in the University\u2019s duPont Gallery, it features the work of 24 artists, most of whom shaped their art beside her in Melchers Hall. An array of sculpture is highlighted, including object, performance, digital and conceptual works.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis exhibition represents all the students who have spent time in Melchers searching for their voices and learning how to communicate their ideas through visual language,\u201d said Garmon. \u201cIt represents those late nights in the studio working through obstacle after obstacle, dancing to music for inspiration and hiding things in the studio for me to find later.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Garmon, who retired in 2024, will return to the gallery on Thursday, March 13, at 5 p.m. \u2013 not to find comedic treasures stashed by students with whom she bonded \u2013 but to give a talk reflecting on her time teaching at UMW. She\u2019ll discuss \u201cthe most rewarding aspects of mentoring and guiding young artists and tell the stories behind the exhibition,\u201d she said. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/2025\/03\/12\/umw-art-professor-sculpts-student-bonds-quarter-century-career\/\">Read more.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An oversized aquamarine sculpture crafted using sun hats, silk and wood.
