An opening reception will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday\, Aug. 30 at the gallery\, and Hough will give an artist’s talk that night at 5:30 p.m. \n\n\n\nHough’s work is created from found scrap metal and explores the relationship between parts\, shapes and the original function of a sculpture’s elements. As with all found objects\, each piece of metal had a previous life and use. Hough likes to find ways of connecting those stories visually and uses those histories to add to the narrative of the work. Most of the pieces in this exhibition are abstract\, and Hough plays with formal design concepts including line\, mass\, repetition\, negative space and balance. \n\n\n\nBoth the exhibit and opening reception/artist’s talk are free and open to the public.

Although caps and gowns had been used in many American schools since Colonial time\, it was not until about 1885 that their use became widespread at commencement ceremonies. Participants in academic ceremonies are expected to wear the academic regalia to which they are entitled by virtue of the degree they hold. \nThe Intercollegiate Code provides for bachelor’s\, master’s and doctor’s gown distinguished by the shape of the sleeves. The sleeves of doctor’s gowns also have three velvet chevrons. The color of the velvet trim may be black or the same color as the velvet that edges the hood. Caps worn with bachelor’s and master’s gowns usually have a black tassel. A doctor may wear a gold tassel. \nIn the United States\, the hood is the most distinctive feature of academic attire. It is worn at the back\, suspended near the shoulders. The length of the hood and width of its velvet border indicate the level of degree held.
