Zari Apodaca ’23
Major: Studio Art
Faculty Mentor: Professor Judd Schiffman, Art and Art History
An Exhibition of ceramic objects reflecting on genocidal trauma and cultural bereavement in Armenian culture. Through her art, Zari asks questions about the intergenerational effects of exile and persecution. In Zari’s words: “Through multiple ceramic copies of face plaques and head sculptures, I work to understand who I see myself to be, despite feeling so disconnected. I communicate my inner thoughts concerning identity and society through text carved into clay and broken up pieces of faces to better understand the missing gaps in myself.”

Callie Chan ’22
Major: Studio Art
Minor: Mathematics
Faculty Mentor: Professor Judd Schiffman, Art and Art History
In her work, Callie Chan explores her feelings as a Chinese American at a predominantly white institution. Chan creates a massive quantity of seemingly identical objects made one at a time. Her identity is physically stamped onto each individual piece of clay as she squeezes them within her palm. This act of repeatedly squeezing releases a frustration within herself : As one of very few Chinese Americans at Providence College, Chan lacks a sense of belonging, acceptance, and understanding. In carefully considering her …

Major: Health Policy and Management
Minor: Italian and Studio Art
Faculty Mentor: Professor James Janecek, Art & Art History
For my independent study, I used Photoshop extensively. The software allows me to use digital imagery to maintain a specific color palette that translates to the time of day. This color theme is extracted from my personal photographs of favored landscapes, after which I build in layers to create whimsical landscapes. They are whimsical for their non-uniform distortions of perspective and viewing angle, a combination that is amplified by the painterly application of color. Technology allows me to paint, cut, collage …
Mid 20th Century America Through The Words And Lens Of Allen Ginsberg, Lily M. Conover
Mid 20th Century America Through The Words And Lens Of Allen Ginsberg, Lily M. Conover
Art & Art History Student Scholarship
Major: Art History and American Studies
Faculty Mentor: Dr. Deborah Johnson, Art and Art History
Allen Ginsberg began producing provocative poetry in 1955 when he first devoted his life to writing.

All of this press made Ginsberg a famous poet; however, he also had what he called an “amateur hobby,” his photography.
In the same way he wrote, Ginsberg photographed the world around him: members of the Beat Movement, his friends, lovers, etc. Most of the …

Art & Art History Student Scholarship
Major: Art History
Minor: Spanish, Latin American Studies, and Business and Innovation
Faculty Mentor: Dr. Deborah Johnson, Art and Art History
"Seduction is traditionally understood to have a sexual undertone, but this investigation aims to prove that the seduction of the female nude is not just a manifestation of carnal sexuality, but rather, can be ignited by the qualities of power, motherhood, and salvation.
Spanish Marian images by Zurbarán, Morales, and Machuca will be used to analyze how nudity allures the viewer, but allows the religious message to remain the central force. By referencing John Berger and Laura Mulvey and …
