This Memory Is Redacted But Not Gone, Wanda-Marie Rana
This Memory Is Redacted But Not Gone, Wanda-Marie Rana
Art - All Scholarship
In this paper, This memory is redacted but not gone, I discuss how my artistic practice, my time in graduate school, and my own life experiences have led me to create my thesis project. The paper is split up into chapters describing the work I made while in graduate school along with my themes; memory, family, home, and identity, and methods; archive, collage, and investigation, of working.

The Role Of Artists In Ship Camouflage During World War I, Roy R. Behrens
Faculty Publications
Experiments in ship camouflage during World War I were necessitated by the inordinate success of German submarines (called "U-boats") in destroying Allied ships. Because it is impossible to make a ship invisible at sea, Norman Wilkinson, Everett L. Warner and other artists devised methods of course distortion in which high-contrast, unrelated shapes were painted on a ship's surface, thereby confusing the periscope view of the submarine gunner.
