Calf and Bull, Graphite, 2023
Endless Summer, Graphite, 2023
Morgan Jensen
[BA] Drawing
[Minor] Anthropology
Morgan Jensen’s current capstone show, Endless Summer, is an expression of exploitation and disconnection through the lens of people trapped in an art museum, illustrated in graphite. It is about voyeurism, how we treat female-presenting bodies and people outside the norm, and the emotional toll of being an exhibit in your own life.
