Reports RWM about this year's CCA MFA Thesis Show, "Great encounter with plenitude and abundance. All sorts of work abounds in this show that does not leave your consciousness when you exit the premises. You can find styles and genres of choice among the abundance. The works are not quite haunting, but they do get ingested by the psyche and internalized in other ways. Fun time to be had for visiting folks who have lots of time to look around. Each room opens up on new stories and playgrounds. Not all fun, but inspiring, provocative and sometimes unnerving. Great one-stop event for those who can handle sensory overload."
