Undergrad fine arts show

Once again, I have had the privilege to watch and see the developments of an artist in this show, Sloan, through a printmaking class this semester. I really enjoyed her work because it stands out with the color choice and imagery in both a disgusting (by the paint) and humorous way (by the content of the image). With these images being her own, they are true and raw, yet these photos can have a different feeling due to media outlets. Typically, the content of this image would be seen in poor, negative light by news coverage. However, she is just trying to display memories that mean a lot to her and the lighter side of a darker image impacted by third parties’ opinions. Sloan gives a lot of attention to the details of her human subjects and allows for the backgrounds to be simple while adding to the content of the image.
