Digital works showcased at Park University's Campanella Gallery in an upcoming exhibit of digital designs.
Merrick Henry, an assistant teaching professor of graphic design at Park University, is set to showcase his digital design works at the Campanella Gallery from October 6, 2023, to December 8, 2023.
Henry, a resident of Kansas City, Missouri, brings years of teaching experience from institutions such as Johnson County (Kan.) Community College, Kansas City Art Institute, University of Maryland, and Savannah (Ga.) College of Art and Design to this exhibition. In 2020, he was the co-recipient of Park University's Faculty Newcomer of the Year Award.
The exhibit, directed by Andrea Lee, Ph.D., associate professor of art and design, aims to connect visitors into Henry's digital realm. It showcases typographic exploration and photography experiments, ranging from classroom exercises to client work and personal design ideas.
The exhibit explores the relationship between typography and digital photography using four methods: fusion, fragmentation, inversion, and separation. The imagery in the exhibit provides a unique insight into Henry's creative process and his approach to digital design.
