WARREN—A new exhibition of artwork displaying the creativity of the faculty and students of Kent State University runs the gamut of weaving, sculpture, painting and a video variation on the classic movie “Jaws.”

The display at the Trumbull Art Gallery on East Market Street is titled “Touch and Scale” and features the work of 25 artists, all affiliated with the university’s studio art department.

“I gave it that title because the (exhibit) presents media and scale in a unique way,” said Janice Lessman-Moss, the curator of the presentation and the head of the KSU textile department.

“People will be able to relate to the sense of labor that went into the work.”

Lessman-Moss has one of the eye-catching attractions—a large weaving combination of silk, nylon, paint and ink that measures more than 6 feet high and 3 feet wide. She calls it “Elements.”

“It usually takes several months to do these,” she said. “It’s very time consuming.”

The exhibition continues until November 14. The Trumbull Art Gallery is open from noon till 4 p.m. on Tuesdays through Saturdays.
