COVER ART “Tar Edge” by Maddison Colvin
The photograph on the cover of this edition of Exponent II was made using a high-resolution scanner late at night by the side of a newly resurfaced road in rural Pennsylvania. Colvin is an interdisciplinary visual artist residing in Orem, Utah. Originally from Washington State, she received a BA from Whitworth University in 2008 and an MFA from Brigham Young University in 2013. She is currently Department Manager for Art at BYU and was most recently an Eliza Moore Fellow at Oak Spring Garden Foundation. Her work focuses on themes of ecology, built environment and communal knowledge, and spans media from drawing to photography to video game design.  maddisoncolvin.com | @maddisoncolvin
