How can creativity help to build community?
Gathering Currents brings together the creative work of Otterbein faculty & staff artists, whose practices carry stories, questions, and imagery across multiple disciplines and media. Visitors are invited to explore the work in this exhibition as both creative expressions of individuals and as currents that gather and shape our community.

Paper Cosmologies
Hiromi Mizugai Moneyhun’s Floating WorldsFrank Museum of ArtJanuary 8 – April 23, 2026Paper Cosmologies draws on Florida-based Japanese artist Hiromi Mizugai Moneyhun’s (水貝 宏美) Ukiyo and Emergence series, which turn single sheets of washi paper into universes that refuse a frame. Through kirie (切り絵)—the ancient and painstaking Japanese art of paper cutting—Moneyhun realizes complex and fantastical worlds where female figures inherit the elegance of bijin-ga (美人画) beauty, even as they emerge, entangle, and transform into animals, architecture, and landscapes. The diaphanous, yet commanding and playful paper forms ask: “What if our ideas of separation are an illusion?”
