## Caption

On a cool day in 2020, visitors poured into the Carmen Argote exhibit at the Visual Arts Center on The University of Texas at Austin campus. A stranger handed visitors a pair of Bluetooth headphones through which they heard the voice of Bella Cheng telling them to imagine falling into a vat of black sludge. Unseen and at a distance, Cheng guided visitors through her latest performance art piece, an interactive and meditative audio tour through the installations.

Cheng is a multidisciplinary artist and one of our outstanding graduates from the class of 2022. She has exhibited her work and performances in over a dozen venues, including the Visual Arts Center and Austin Co-Lab Projects, and during East Austin Studio Tours.

She sculpts, paints, draws, films, performs, makes paper — you name it. A Kay Pearson Harrison Endowed Presidential Scholar, Cheng will graduate this year with a fine arts degree in studio art and a minor in art history. Fitting for an artist with skill in many disciplines, Cheng already possesses a ton of experience in the art world and many insightful philosophies about her craft.
