Alum Hedwig Brouckaert’s (MFA 2005) series “Illusive Flesh of Light” will be exhibited in VOLTA ‘18 at the Gallery Jan Dhaese booth (B13).

“Illusive Flesh of Light” is a response to the sudden deaths of the artist’s father and sister. In these mixed media works, forms are disintegrated and boundaries are dissolved, leaving in sight the signs of the process. As a memento mori, Brouckaert’s work reflects on mortality and the vanity of life in the hyper-consumer world of today.
