New submissions to the thesis/dissertation collections are added automatically as they are received from the Graduate School. Currently, the Graduate School deposits all theses and dissertations from a given semester after the official graduation date. This means that there may be up to a 4 month delay in the appearance of a given thesis/dissertation in DRUM.

    LIFE, NATURE AND PAINTING
    (2007-05-15) Gordon, Peter Andrew; Craig, Patrick; Art; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)
    Perception of memory, the present and the future is continually shaped and reshaped by sporadic incidence. Arriving as lucky strikes, freak accidents, poor health, chance meetings, and epiphanies of the mind, unforeseen events interrupt and alter routines, making our lives unpredictable and open to blind circumstance. Inspired by patterns and anomalies in the natural environment, these eight thesis paintings merge variation with repetition. They reflect the notion of shifting expectations due to unexpected occurrences.

    Transitions and Boundaries
    (2006-05-12) Scott, Barry Allan; Craig, Patrick; Art; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)
    In any artistic career there are a number of transitions that happen to a body of work. These transitions can often seem like disconnected leaps of the imagination, though they often occur through the challenging of personal boundaries. Personal and emotional boundaries are stretched and challenged by the confrontation of a new culture; this could include a body of new information or unusual surroundings. We will observe the effects that moving to the United States of America has had on my work and the transitions that have taken place in this work as a result of my confrontation with this culture.
