FIRE Week 2025: MurALL

Documenting the 2025 FIRE Week experience that explored and created public art in Thomas Library

Taryn's Artist Statement

For my artist statement, I like to say that this was a different experience for me because I have never thought about the thought process of an artist when they create art, how that can affect other people who view the art in either a good or bad way. I wanted to write this in the library because I wanted everyone to be reminded that they matter no matter what they are going through and how their life is. You Matter.

I enjoyed my week learning new things about art that I’ve never would’ve thought about wanting to learn. Experiencing this type of art was wonderful, I always want to learn something new !!
