The exhibition featuring Hayakawa’s work of prints and collages will continue through Nov. 14.

“The collage works, which are made of bamboo and paper, cohere with the prints,” said Sikes. “Meguri’s experience of living with East Texas coupled with her Japanese heritage is a major influence in her work.”

Measured Response, featuring work by graduate student Mark Anderson, is currently on display at the gallery and will continue through Friday, Oct. 24.
