Glut And Guzzle, Ashley Kay Gardner
Glut And Guzzle, Ashley Kay Gardner
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
In Glut and Guzzle I explore my relationship with my partner, our sexualities and how to navigate these outside of the LDS faith of my childhood, and their struggles with gender, sexual expression and mental illness. This exploration landed on seductive and repulsive imagery of food and body. I use color, texture and size as a tool similar to visual tools of advertising to seduce my viewer. This is an exploration of how gender norms and the visual language of advertising that infiltrates daily lives and through media and religion can shape identity and gender roles. I utilize advanced 3D …

Not All Dreams Are Nightmares, Not All Nightmares Are Dreams, Neal G. Polallis
MSU Graduate Theses
My art deals with mental illness, particularly schizophrenia, PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), and addiction.
It is how I work out the problems in my relationships and within my head. My art is where I explore
ideas, alternate possibilities, my dreams, and my fears. Drawing inspiration from photographers such as
Jerry Uelsmann, Richard Avedon, and Irving Penn; painters like Caravaggio, Picasso, and Bacon, as well as,
concepts from the Surrealists and the Futurists, the art I produce is dream-like: familiar objects in unrelated
places. The work that I create stems from years of working with patients in their most acute states. …

Remixing The Archives: Indigenous Interpretations Of History And The Future, Marcella Ernest
American Studies ETDs
This dissertation examines how Native art makes critical interventions that are aesthetically and intellectually arranged with the intention of displacing the master narratives. The project tracks how film and photography—historically used by non-Native people as a tool of colonialism—are being reclaimed by the visual and sonic scholarship of contemporary Native artists. The project shows how multidisciplinary artists use technology to remix audiovisual archives from a specific time in American history: portrait photography and ethnographic filmmaking at the turn of the twentieth century, Hollywood’s frontier representations of Indianness in twentieth-century motion pictures, social guidance classroom films from the 1950s, and digital …

This journal has no owner.
It is simply out there.
It belongs to me, it belongs to you.
It is about personal moments but universal experiences.
What do you see when you drive with the window open?
What can you find in your own house?
What light is on at midnight?

Plausible Expositions With Possible Expeditions, Nikolaus D. James
Plausible Expositions With Possible Expeditions, Nikolaus D. James
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Influenced by video games and cinema, in this body of work, Plausible Expositions with Possible Expeditions, I use objects to create scenarios that suggest a narrative. The scenes are then photographed and displayed through cathode-ray tube televisions and viewers use their own knowledge and ideas about the objects to create that narrative. Each of these objects has is own data set, and the most common have a universal data set—information surrounding the object that is widely recognized, much like how a crowbar is commonly associated with crime. Similar to playing a video game, an algorithm is used when viewing my …
