big serious art show
2019
Sheehan Gallery
Whitman College (senior thesis exhibition)
Simons designed her own major while a student at Whitman, and that major is now an option for other students. She pursued the combination of Environmental Studies and Art. Her course of study throughout getting her degree led to a thesis combining the two subjects in an installation piece title Consequential Chores, about the environmental affects of laundry that Americans do not usually notice. A lot of her process for this installation was collecting plastics and detergent, and she even dumpster dove for materials in allocated recyclable locations. The group exhibition ran from 19 April 2019 until 19 May 2019.
