Rice Owls and Houston art lovers were invited Jan. 20 by the Department of Visual and Dramatic Arts to campus for the opening reception of “Butterflies,” an original multimedia video and sound installation created by Rice senior Ling DeBellis and University of Houston student composer Antonio Sanz Escallón.

On display in the Sleepy Cyborg Gallery in Sewell Hall Room 258 through Feb. 19 (open Thursdays through Sundays from 5-10 p.m.), the three-part experimental film and installation is a semiautobiographical abstraction that touches on themes of maturity, femininity, growth and development.
