In addition to the annual festival, FOTA organizes an on-going gallery at the Harper Memorial Library commons, providing university members a highly visible venue to showcase their artwork. At this newly renovated study-space, we can accomodate both three-dimensional and two-dimensional works. All mediums and styles are welcomed.

Sally Fama Cochrane is a 3rd year HIPS major and a student at
the School of Representational Art in downtown Chicago. Her
paintings combine her interests in outdated science,
Neoclassical and Baroque art, inventing and diagnosing her own
psychological abnormalities, and lead-based oil paints (she
thinks the last two may be correlated but is unwilling to
attribute causation yet). In her free time she secretly gives
her acquaintances Homeric epithets and assigns them to Jane
Austen characters (don't get your hopes up -- if you're
reading this you're probably a Mary Bennet).

"Images in my painting carry a geometric underpinning in relationship to the canvas, may it be figurative, still life, or complete abstraction. This is because of my absorbing interest in the spatial structure in painting, which may be described as running parallel to but transcending our experience in the physical world. Ultimately, in my abstract work, I am interested in the question of space that helps define and shape our existence as psychological and spiritual being operating in the physical world. -What does the field of our core energies look like and varying nuances of them? My paintings emerge out of such questions."
