Marshall University’s School of Art & Design proudly presents Found and Fabricated, a two-person exhibition by Asha Cabaca and Molly Davis. The exhibition brings together practices that explore transformation, utility, and material relationships. Cabaca’s sculptural forms contrast found natural elements with fabricated steel structures that mimic and subvert natural movement. Davis’s installations and prints elevate overlooked industrial and domestic objects, emphasizing their physical qualities and material histories. Together, their works create a dialogue between labor and play, permanence and impermanence, and the space between the organized and the constructed.

Marshall University’s School of Art & Design proudly presents Darkness Shall Cover Me, a solo exhibition by San Francisco-based artist Katherine Akey. The exhibition explores the human dimensions of strategic bombing in World War I through cyanotype, quilted fiber works, and paper sculptures informed by archaeological methods. Drawing from archival materials and personal reflections, Akey examines how memory and material intersect. With historically resonant media and a subdued palette, the exhibition invites reflection on the lived experiences of early bomber pilots and the lasting impact of aerial warfare.
