According to Lieberman, she had no intention of concentrating in VES when she arrived at Harvard. Despite an interest in photography, she was initially daunted by the rigor and interdisciplinary demands of the department.

Lieberman owes much of her exposure to the influences that would inform her sculpture and video work to Amie Siegel, an artist and professor in VES. Her time as studio assistant to Alison Knowles—a Radcliffe artist-in-residence famous for her involvement in the Fluxus art movement of the 1960s alongside Marcel Duchamp and John Cage—helping to prepare lectures, participating in Fluxus performances and contributing to works exhibited in Potsdam’s Fluxus Museum, also impacted Lieberman’s work...

Yet, trying to capture Vu in one word does a disservice to her artistic complexity. As Vu’s thesis advisor, Visual and Environmental Studies (VES) department professor Andrew Beattie, says of the “miracle worlds” she paints: “They’re not cute and she’s not cute—that’s the wrong word. When you use the words ‘whimsical?...
