Abstract
Boundearthless by McKenzie Drake '17 and Accumulation by Grace Porter '14 are separate and individual works of art, yet they are united not only in similar size and pallet, but the artful friendship created between the two artists in the art studios of Clough Hall. While at Rhodes, Grace was a mentor to McKenzie, not only in the grueling studio schedule, but in collaborating in sketchbooks, finding arts opportunities in Memphis, and encouraging each other to continue their dreams of being an artist. Both women are inspiring in the way they embraced the work ethic at the core of a successful studio practice. Having their work on display in the Refectory serves both to beautify a communal space and to remind students that creative accomplishment is well within their means.
