The work of artist Crystal Wagner will be displayed in an exhibition titled “Bionic Devices” in the University of Mobile’s Martin Hall Gallery from Aug. 22 – Sept. 30. Admission is free and the gallery is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

A special artist talk will be held Sept. 22 at 1:30 p.m. with a reception following at 2:30 p.m. in Martin Hall Gallery, 5735 College Parkway, Mobile, Ala. 36616.

As combinations of drawing, printmaking, collage and sculpture, the works “reference schematic illustrations or scientific diagrams and speak to the functionality of singularity in this context: one part lending substance to another, one operation fueling another, one piece building another,” said Wagner.

Wagner is assistant professor of art and printmaking area head at Georgia College. She completed her master’s of fine arts at the University of Tennessee in 2008 and her work has been displayed in multiple national exhibitions and locations, including the Knoxville Museum of Art.
