Pan Shot!, Samuel Robert Gaston Mattax
Theses and Dissertations
Sam Mattax's practice is aimed at working through what he has lived and what he is living. They are self-involved diaristic building blocks of marking time and release. The layered drawings negotiate Sam's history and his day to day, distorting one another into a place of unrecognizable space and condensed energy. It is a process of attaining a loose understanding of his life and forgetting it all at once. Sam's work is survival.
Emotional Landscapes, Jin Young Jeong
Emotional Landscapes, Jin Young Jeong
Theses and Dissertations

The imagery in the works generates an atmosphere where one can feel rooted and anxiety-free. The paintings invite a close read of the complexities of compounded affects.

Turning And Turning, Nicola Stephanie
Theses and Dissertations
This paper explores Nicola Stephanie’s works in painted and shaped canvas, which investigate sensation and visual awareness of motion.

These spatial drawings evoke perceptions of gravity, rotation and orientation.

Invisible Forces, Sarah E. Mullin
Invisible Forces, Sarah E. Mullin
Theses and Dissertations
I seek abstract forms evocative of the underlying structures in nature. I paint sensations of vibrating light, deep space, and vast scale in an imagined image. These paintings combine an inner abstract dimension with landscape imagery to communicate to the viewer that we are a part of what we sense in nature.
