ARTISTS’ STATEMENT:

This year, for the A&AH Studio Art Senior Year Experience exhibition, rather than identifying or working toward an overall theme, we each focused inward, creating art that is independently meaningful to each person. Through this filter, we imbued our own artistic identities and visions into each creation.

Our images vary in subject and meaning, from environmental issues and in consideration of wild animals, to memories and reflections on one’s growth as an individual. Using various techniques, each work becomes special,
cared for, and intensely personal. From painting, ceramics, and printmaking to digital collage, photography, and video, we each highlighted the particular essence that makes us artists.

As the artworks grew and developed over the past four months, they became like our children, and each artist parent is proud but a little bit angry with their work. These images are our loves, and the resulting artworks are the kids born from that love.

Additional images are available on flickr.
