From the other side of the world

Some Georgetown art students just got back from spending 2 weeks in japan taking part in the international Karakuri Workshop. A workshop designed to teach the history and basic methods of karakuri making. Karakuri are handmade performative dolls, ranging from basic puppets to the beginnings of autonomous robotics. So if you happen to run into Liz, Allen, Megan Sauter (pictured above), Joel Darland, or Stephanie Martin, go ahead and ask them what they did this summer.

New Artist to see

Ben Strawn works using acrylic on plexiglass because it scratches off so easily. He likes encaustic but really wants more clarity, plexi is great because he can sand it and really get that milky blur but still keep areas he wants clear. It's smooth so he can scrape stuff off with steelwool and then paint back into that smooth surface again. He hates canvas- he always works small so that texture really shows up.

Mordançage—the stymied and the sublime

The mordançage process is a unique photographic technique that allows the darkest parts of a silver print to blister and release from the paper base. Sometimes that emulsion can be used to create "veils" and other times it can be removed from the print completely. Either way, the resulting images are often unpredictable transformations of the original photographs.

3D Extensions

Admittedly this is my favorite project of the 3D Design and Ceramics Class. Students are challenged to create extensions for a part of the body, some did physical attributes and some did emotional extensions, but all turned out great.

Haunting Pinholes

Always a beautiful, mysterious, unique, and sometimes frustrating project — pinhole photography has a look of its own.

For this project we built our own cameras from household objects. We then shot onto b&w, RC photo paper, scanned them on a flatbed scanner, and took them into Photoshop to edit. Later, we reprinted the images as digitally enlarged negatives that we could contact print back onto RC paper. The final images range in size from 4x4 inches to 8x10s.

Deb Davis: Critiques and Lecture

Deb Davis will be visiting Georgetown Wednesday and Thursday (April 23 & 24).

Wednesday: she will be giving critiques of student work between 4-6 PM. My guess is that it will be directed toward photographic work, but not exclusively. So, if you'd like to get her feedback, drop by and show her what you've been creating.

Thursday: she will be talking about her work, Varied Notations_Traveling, in the Cochenour Gallery from 8:30-10:00 AM. Yes, that is a little early, but this will be a one time opportunity. We'd love to have you join us. Hope to see you there.
