Professor of Printmaking Laura Bigger has been selected as one of the Missouri Artists of the Month by the Missouri Arts Council.\u00a0 In her artist’s statement she writes:<\/p>\n

My art considers existential quandaries such as what it means to be a human today, how we can live in the world responsibly, and what our obligation is to do so. As a multimedia artist, I question anthropocentric viewpoints and interpret the manmade environment primarily through print, drawing, and installation.\"\"<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
