The Opening Reception for {E} (pronounced "eh") featured the art of student artist Noelia Bermudez. Noelia is putting on this reception as a requirement to fulfill her Bachelors of Fine Art in the FIBER program at Cal State Long Beach. Noelia's work was displayed in the Dr. Maxine Merlino Gallery on Sunday, March 13, 2011. Bermudez stated that, "My artwork is an exploration of natural materials."

The art piece is made up of bamboo, handmade paper, waxed linen and quite a bit of red spray paint.


The structure took up the entirety of the small gallery, however it proved to be worth it. Noelia's artwork seemed to be semi- interactive as viewers were able to walk in and out of the magnanimous art piece. "I put a lot of work into this piece and I hope that many enjoy seeing my passion and creativity before them," said Bermudez who has been working on it since September 2010.
