Alumna wins senior prize in studio art from Wellesley

Alexa Gross ’17, who just graduated from Wellesley College with a double major in studio art and neuroscience, was awarded the senior prize in studio art with a series of multimedia pieces that “explore themes of intergenerational memory, relationships, and identity through a scientific lens,” her statement on the exhibition reads. Drawing on the experiences of her mother and grandmother, Gross brought together printmaking, photography and drawing, using materials such as string, used gloves and a video she filmed of herself, her mother and her grandmother discussing their lives while taking apart the gloves that were used in the exhibit.

Gross’ work is viewable at Wellesley art department’s website.
