Fierce Planets at LSU MOA

Featuring fiber art inspired by Johns Hopkins University’s Dr. Sabine Stanley, Fierce Planets: Work from the Studio Art Quilt Associates displays forty-two pieces from artists across the globe evoking space and the planets at the LSU Museum of Art. Their interpretations run the gamut from traditional quilts to soft sculptures. LSU’s Department of Physics and Astronomy and Geology and Geophysics displays artifacts alongside the artwork, such as a tile from a Space Shuttle, so viewers can access a richer understanding of space. Students of Associate Professor Loren Schwerd from LSU’s College of Art and Design have also designed and installed a sculpture inspired by the galactic theme that is on view in the adjoining gallery for the exhibition’s duration.
