Congratulations to graduate student, Forrest Lawso

Congratulations to graduate student, Forrest Lawson from the University of Georgia. Their mixed media work titled, “What Are We To You 1”, was chosen as one of the Jurors Choice.

“ For my Juror’s choice I picked Forrest Lawson's piece titled, “What Are We to You.” Narrowing down my choice for was hard, however, this work really spoke to me and I felt that it epitomized the theme of raw. The works use of blood (and specifically Queer blood) as medium, especially during a pandemic, make it that much more impactful for me. The use of a grid layout helps to organize and unify the artwork while highlighting the petri dishes as vessel or almost a reliquary. This piece was well constructed and displayed in an intriguing manner, using backlighting to emphasize and highlight the material.”

Congratulations to graduate student, Ji Min Hwang

Congratulations to graduate student, Ji Min Hwang from School of Visual Arts. Their oil painting, “Untitled”, was chosen as one of the Jurors Choice.

“ What immediately caught my eye when looking at the work of Ji-Min Hwang was the appreciation of seemingly banal moments that could have easily been over looked and instead found beauty. In this particular piece I found optimism in the observation of a weed growing through the cracks of the pavement. A seemingly cliché metaphor for adversity and beating the odds, but it hardly feels cliché. Through the muted colors, the full range of value, and logical composition, I’m compelled to believe in the authenticity of this moment. To find life and hope in the most desolate of places seems like the rawest form of optimism. We have all be experiencing so many challenges in the last year, to be able to find reprieve on the sidewalk truly brings me joy.”

Congratulations to graduate student, Whitney Vangr

Congratulations to graduate student, Whitney Vangrin, from UC Davis. Their performance, “Pittsburg Hymn”, was chosen as one of the Jurors Choice.

“One performance caught my attention, Hymn, by Whitney Vangrin. This still shot from Hymn exemplifies the inward gaze and external ecstasy of Vangrin’s performance. Her total immersion in the performance/experience combined with the invocation of archetypal images and ritual give the viewer a timeless connection to the experience of being in one’s own body, through her unabashed kneading of dough. Vangrin goes through many relationships with the dough – expressing internal states with the physical handling. She pushes the dough into her body, so she is both the material and the maker as she desperately kneads the second skin of her torso. Raw energy. Raw dough. Vangrin exhibits power and vulnerability – power in allowing oneself to be vulnerable as a player in the great drama of the human condition. Her performance implies a spirituality inherent in embracing the gross physical aspect of existence. The thing about living is that it can’t be done second hand. As an artist, Vangrin is taking risks and exploring her identity, mental landscapes, and what it means to be present in an experience. “

Congratulations to graduate student, Brandy Green

Congratulations to graduate student, Brandy Green from Texas Tech University. Their ceramic and mixed media work, was chosen as one of the Jurors Choice.

“My juror’s choice was Brandy Green’s “Norepinephrine of Annunciation”. This submission immediately stood out to due to the use of light and shadow. Light is a tricky medium to use and Brandy did a beautiful job of creating a work of art that is not only visually stunning, but conceptually very intriguing. The apertured torso of the figure and the title allows the light to create a sense of reflection and contemplation. The way the figure sits and is sprawled out, creates a calming, yet enlightening conversation.”

Congratulations to graduate student, Caitlin Dagl

Congratulations to graduate student, Caitlin Daglis from University of Georgia. Their mixed media work, “Have an Average Day" was selected as one of the Jurors Choice.

"My juror's choice is "Have an Average Day" by Caitlin Daglis. The instant attraction I felt with this piece was to the text; I adore the snark directed at hollow social banalities. That this piece isn't aggressive or nasty, not "Have a terrible day!" or "Have a shit-tastic day!" but so utterly banal and innocuous, which struck me as even more hilarious. Upon second and third look, I began to ponder the deeper layers captured in the materiality of the work. Embroidered upon a dyed tea towel, this piece becomes a commentary on femininity, women's work, emotional labor, and the repetitive nature of social constructs- such as rote expressions of politeness. Too often overlooked as merely 'craft' (aka the feminine), subtly profound work like this truly is the kind of expression I imagined when we put together the prompt for RAW. Brava."
