“Love is what you bring to it…”
Adapted from Tennessee Williams’ famous play of the same title, Summer and Smoke tells one of the most heartbreaking love stories of all time. It’s Mississippi at the turn of the 20th century. Alma, a preacher’s daughter with an eccentric mother, harbors a secret infatuation with her rebellious neighbor, John. As the two wrestle between love and lust, Alma struggles to find her freedom and identity as a woman in the restrictive South.

Beginning January 11, 2018, something half-rememberedwill be on view in The Milliken Art Gallery. In this solo exhibition, Hannah Skoonberg’s prints will be on display through February 1. Skoonberg describes her work as revolving “around ideas related to landscape. Landscapes that we create and landscapes that we inhabit. That intersection between artificial, man-made landscape and wild natural landscape becomes a place of emotional significance.” Skoonberg grew up in Georgia and the landscape of the south made a lasting impression on her work. She received her BFA in printmaking at the University of Georgia and her MFA in Printmaking at the University of Tennessee. Currently, she teaches print at the Santa Rosa Junior College in California.
