HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – The works of Marshall University graduate assistant Jackie Parsons will be on display for a week in early December in the Birke Art Gallery, which is located on the first floor of Smith Hall on MU’s Huntington campus.

Parsons’ work features large-scale prints that express the female figure as a container and explore the connection that women have with vessels.
