‘Refractions,’ Tiffany Wyse-Fisher: Exhibit Reception and Artist Talk

"Memory Jar," a piece from "Refractions."

This exhibit will be open from September 14 to November 9, 2025.

The reception will begin at 5:30, with the artist talk at 6 p.m.

 

Refractions, an exhibit from Tiffany Wyse-Fisher, GC assistant professor of art, explores a relationship between illumination, reflection, refraction, and perception. Through backlit photographs of mirrored images, she invites viewers to step into a space where reality folds into itself and there is a tension between reality and the surreal. Wyse-Fisher’s ceramic pieces play with light and shadow in a different way, creating shifting patterns of light and shadow. By merging photography and ceramics, she invites the contemplation of light and shadow as both the subject and medium. Wyse-Fisher is a 2002 graduate of Goshen College.

Refractions will be available in the Hershberger Art Gallery, inside the Goshen College Music Center from September 14 to November 9, 2025. The art gallery is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and weekends from 2 to 4 p.m., with longer hours during events held in the Music Center. The reception for this exhibit will be held during Homecoming Weekend, on Saturday, October 4, beginning at 5:30 p.m., with an artist talk at 6 p.m.

About the Artist

Before joining the faculty at Goshen College in 2024, Tiffany Wyse-Fisher was an art educator, ceramicist, jewelry maker, and professional photographer for 20 years, most of which were spent in central Illinois. Her teaching experience ranges from teaching art in middle school, high school, and college, to training young adults at a peace and reconciliation center in Northern Ireland. In 2002, she received a B.A. in art education with a focus in darkroom photography from Goshen College under the guidance of Marvin Bartel, and in 2009, she earned an M.F.A. in fine art photography from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, where she focused in photo manipulation and was introduced to the backlit transparency.

Wyse-Fisher’s work has taken on many forms and includes an exploration of media. She attributes this to her years as an art educator, which have fostered the inspiration and freedom to explore many resources and themes. Her desires to design, create, and build have carried her through a life that has still never been boring.
