For her exhibition βHotel Tempus,β graphic design student Tasha Wentling turned the Wilson K. Cadman Gallery into a time-travelers hotel, complete with a check-in desk and a cast of mysterious guests.
The exhibition is on view from 9 a.m.β5 p.m. MondayβFriday in the Rhatigan Student Center gallery through April 12. A reception will take place from 6β8 p.m. on Friday, April 5.
βThere was a hole in my heart that could only be filled by a photography project,β Wentling said.
But she didnβt have the time to shoehorn a photo media class into her schedule during her final year at Wichita State.
Instead, Wentling submitted her idea to the Cadman, a gallery space in the heart of ΊΓΙ«ΟΘΙϊβs student center. She worked on the project for months, sometimes sharing her progress on her Instagram account .
The result is more than a photography show. Wentling used her graphic-design acumen
to create a fully realized brand for the hotel. In order to get it all done, she incorporated
the project into some of her classwork.
