Conflux (Exhibit @ Pearl Conrad Art Gallery)

Today's edition will be sharing information about the current exhibit @ the OSU Mansfield Art Gallery. I have created a podcast (that will be added this week) about one of my favorite art installations in the show. The artist is Su Hyun Nam (from the School of  Art Institute of Chicago). The two exhibits are: Woven Milieu and Dis-Integrated Memory. Additional info can be found on her website at: www.suhyunnam.com. I am inspired by her work in particular because of the theme (images that focus on trees). For many years now trees have been one of my favorite subjects to photograph and I have enjoyed seeing her interpretation of a subject that many people could take for granted. In addition to posting a podcast about her artistry I am including some of my own photos of trees.

Homework Video Collage

  This assignment was to capture video images of the world around us and edit as a collage that would create a mood but not necessarily have a theme. For this I traveled to my hometown of Columbus, Ohio and visited with a good friend that I had not seen in over a year. It was great fun to see the city from her perspective. It gave me insight into how much the town has changed over the years in addition to visiting places I thought I already knew but still managed to cast an element of surprise as I shared these with her. While in Columbus I also visited my mom at her residence, my husband at his job, and two of my favorite cafes. It was a 'whirlwind' tour for the weekend and I tried to express the variety yet ensuing chaotic feeling from rushing to capture these various moments in such a short period of time.
