Clarksville, TN — Austin Peay State University’s Department of Art + Design, with support from the Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts (CECA), is presenting Rebecca Morrison’s digital art to open the 2026–27 <terminal> gallery season.
Morrison’s work will be on display through October 2nd, 2026, during the gallery’s public hours, 8:00am to 4:30pm Monday through Friday.
Located on the first-floor stairwell of the Art + Design Building next to The New Gallery, <terminal> showcases new media art and is curated and maintained by Professor Barry R. Jones.
Rebecca Morrison is a Boston-based multimedia artist whose work explores the intersection of social ritual and digital culture. Her practice spans video, photography, installation, and animation, combining direct observation with performance and mixed-media collage.
Her recent multi-channel video projects consider what digital technology means for the body, language, and family bonding. Often placing her camera in spaces built for entertainment, she examines spectatorship, intimacy, alienation, voyeurism, disguise, and the boundary between public and private space.
Morrison has worked for more than a decade as a photographic educator for students of all ages. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in photography and art history and a Master of Fine Arts in film and video, both from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
