Senior Show 2

Although I didn’t thoroughly investigate the first senior art show, the second

senior art show was filled with mind-blowingly creative and well-crafted art pieces.

There were a variety of pieces in the Foreman Gallery, but I will just highlight my

favorites of the grouping.

Harriet Grace’s final project was two bronzes of a male and female from the waist

up. In talking to Grace, I learned that they were supposed to be her parents at the age of

19. She constructed them in three pieces, but they appeared seamless. It was amazing

how she was able to make the collar bones protrude on her mother’s figure as if they

were pressing against skin.

Crystal Postighone’s art piece was a tree structure which had lights hanging off of

it. The lights were inside hand-blown glass creations, and it is absolutely beautiful. The

varied colors and swirls that Postighone used in each unique glass piece created an array

of different yet similar pieces. I absolutely loved her idea to present her piece on a tree.

Megan Petruney’s piece is an installation, which is inside a sort of house

structure. Once inside, on the right, there are mirrors that reflect one’s face in a rather

blurry manner, and in the center there is a blinking traffic light. In the corner there are

boxes of grass, one just filled with dirt and seed, one filled with baby grass, one filled

with over grown grass, and one filled with mown grass. I feel as though it was to

symbolize the processes of life.
