Presented by the UO Center for Art Research CFAR Banner at 510 Oak Terry Haggerty: Finding Space
On View: May through August 2025 Location: 510 Oak Street, Eugene, OR 97401
Finding Space is a shaped vinyl banner inviting viewers to experience a duality of perspective. In this composition, two linear structures recede from a shared central point, oscillating simultaneously between two and three dimensions. This deliberate manipulation of perspective challenges the viewer’s spatial understanding and disrupts the predictable geometry of the urban environment. By subverting the conventional rectangular format of a banner, the drawn form becomes a visual anomaly by creating a momentary rupture in the visual language of the cityscape. Its suspended state suggests a transient presence, a form caught between definition and placement. This work functions as a temporary intervention, holding a moment of spatial ambiguity captive within the ongoing construction of the city.
Terry Haggerty (b. 1970 in London, United Kingdom) studied at the Southend School of Art, Essex, United Kingdom and received his Bachelor of Arts at the Cheltenham School of Art, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom.

The University of Oregon MFA Art Exhibition 2025 culminates three years of independent research and experimentation by a cohort of five artists whose various practices engage a broad range of inquiry. This year, the MFA exhibition returns to the JSMA, making the work accessible to the UO and Eugene community, while celebrating the MFA graduates’ efforts in the professional standard of the museum setting. The 2025 cohort is Adam DeSorbo, Xinyu Liu, Kate Montgomery, Jens Pettersen, and Gracie Rothering. The five artists showcased in this exhibition represent a diverse range of media and practices, spanning ecology and personal/cultural memory, to the bridge between death and the living world, symbolic institutional gateways, and ideas about abstraction through the materiality of painting.
9:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.
Belle Williams explores the reality that life is grotesque yet beautiful, intertwining the body and mental health with your self-worth. She achieves this through fabric, beading, and various other art forms.
Lane Webster utilizes the ceramic medium to construct a world of sensual joy. Color, ambiguous characters, and recurring motifs serve to provide the audience with whichever experience their imagination desires.
Calder Muller explores the boundaries between material reality and systems of understanding through photographs which function as maps to complex scenes of physical landscape. He is interested in the question: Where does our world deviate from our perception of it?
Peyton Forth uses objects found in office environments such as reception phones, file organizers, manila folders and used carpet squares to explore a surrealist eeriness that can emanate from these everyday objects of labor. Through actions enacted on these recognizable forms, He correlates the disposability of workers in an office space to the disposability of the objects that surround them.
5:00–7:00 p.m.
