Not Just An Adjunct Gallery Exhibit To Open At Ramapo College

(Mahwah) – Works in various media by new faculty at Ramapo College of New Jersey will be featured in Not Just an Adjunct, an exhibition opening with a reception Wednesday, November 14 from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Kresge and Pascal galleries. An artists talk is scheduled at 6 p.m.

Sydney Jenkins, director of galleries at Ramapo College, who noted that the
quality of the work is very impressive, stated, "It’s as good as in any hot Chelsea gallery." Indicating the strength of Ramapo’s photography and sculpture programs, those media dominate the show.

Tom Baker Prints of objects and formal shapes
Seth Ely Small color paintings on shaped canvas
Scott Furman Abstract prints on paper
Joan Harmon Electric installation sculpture cast from her own body entitled "Safe in My Own Skin"
Katherine McVety Color photographs from her Zoo series
Margaret Murphy Paintings that "follow in the tradition of still life painters from the past using symbols or codes to speak about the present culture" She uses tromp l’oeil techniques for very realistic effects
Annibal Pella Digital inkjet prints of landscapes and interiors
Lauren Piperno Renaissance Faire series of photographs
Siena Porta Figure sculptures based in zen practice
Greta Pratt Documentary photographs of American history re-enactor figures and locales
