The Photography Of Charles Fletcher Lummis, 1887 To 1892, James Richard Hajicek

Art & Art History ETDs

Charles Lummis is well known for his cultural contribution to the American Southwest as a writer, magazine editor and museum founder. He was also a photographer worthy of consideration although very little attention has been given in the past to this aspect of his multifaceted career. From the fall of 1887 to the fall of 1892 Charles Lummis produced an extensive body of cyanotypes and salt prints documenting the Indians, pueblos, geological landmarks and archeological ruins of the Southwest. These photographs represent not only a valuable historical and ethnological record, they offer a significant contribution to the history of photography. …

Art & Art History ETDs

The chronological development of my art is discussed in relation to the ideas involved in the ark. The central notion, that art is an impulse which answers to the structure of the world, is dealt with in terms of how information and structure are presented, and represented, in my pictures. The first section deals with work done from 1971 to 1976. The second section deals with work done since arriving at the University of New Mexico in the fall of 1976.

The Creation Of Abstract Forms In Metal, Lynn Ellen Peters

Art & Art History ETDs

The purpose of this thesis is to explain the creation and the reasoning behind a group of jewelry pieces which was begun in August, 1974. The following discussion of my work covers a range of topics related to my jewelry and how they reflect my philosophical outlook. In my efforts to create abstract forms derived from nature, I work with two mental processes which deal with my intuitions and intellect and they help me to make use of my creative abilities. Much can happen from these processes, and I hope to justify my jewelry making not only on these terms, …

Because I Must, Debra M. Sachs

Things that make sense don’t necessarily work. Those that are nonsense often do.

Predicting The Unpredictable, Elizabeth A. Kay

Art & Art History ETDs

My work is an attempt to create a visual metaphor for my personal attitude towards life which stems not only from intuition, but also from my continued interest in literature, history, and philosophy. I have tried to clarify my intuitive feelings by drawing upon other points of view which seem to resemble my own and to question personal opinions when others seem more reasonable. Consequently, my work is the visual product of a great deal of mental speculation and the imagery often has a close relationship with the thinking that inspires it.

Maps And Space: Notes On Organization, Michael Christopher Stousland

Art & Art History ETDs

This thesis will begin with a brief introduction to work which was begun in 1975. I will then discuss the use of maps in my work, first as metaphor, in relation to recent drawings, and second, concerning the symbolic sense in which they are used in my paintings. Finally, I will discuss the use of various map projections in the most recent work, concluding with observations on the nature of geometry and organization.

I Want To Say Something About All That Noise, Stacy Louise Mann

Art & Art History ETDs

When I paint, I often feel as though I am casting characters for an episode. The characters come from the world around me. They are arranged diagrammatically or physically with other images. The characters are talking their places for a ritual. Through rituals we can transcend our surroundings or pass through gates and extend our aesthetic limits. It is fantasy.

European Influences In Early Colonial Descriptions And Illustrations Of The Mexica Monthly Calendar, Betty Ann Brown

Art & Art History ETDs

Titanium dioxide (Ti02) has been studied to determine the feasibility of using this dielectric material in Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor (MIS) structures. MIS structures utilizing various dielectric materials have received considerable attention in recent years. Materials such as titanium dioxide which exhibit a high permittivity are attractive as insulators in MIS devices because of high capacitive density, good surface control for thick films, large power handling capability, and reduction in device size.

The Cliché-Verre In The Nineteenth Century, Elizabeth J. Glassman

Art & Art History ETDs

The cliché-verre process is a photographic technique; an image is made on a glass plate which is then employed as a negative for contact printing on a light-sensitive sheet of paper. The cliché-verre method for creating prints was developed in the mid-nineteenth century, a period of intense technical experimentation in photography and of revived interest in the graphic process of etching. As the cliché-verre incorporates elements of both printmaking (a drawn matrix through a prepared ground) and photography (the presence of a photographic negative), the technique has occupied a middle ground between the two arts. The process has been explored …
