There are many aspects of a journey: a difficult decision, the shadowed face of a stranger, the harrowing recesses of human nature, the smile of a friend. Whether experienced with the imagination or the memory, all paths lead to an enlightened ending. We seek to be your guides on this journey of the things yet to be discovered.

Through the use of illustration, three-dimensional structures, photography, and animation we find the tools used to communicate our messages best. Our creations of art parallel our life experiences whether through style, the illustration of literature, or focus on costume and outward persona. We each find unique ways to present our first step into the professional world.

Eating the Art

Monday, February 22, 2010 - Friday, March 5, 2010

Tuesday, February 9, 5-7pm

People attend art openings to see art and to eat food. This exhibit combines these two attractions by staging an event in which the food is the art and vice versa. The show’s opening begins at 5 pm on Tuesday, and concludes when the entire show had been eaten.
Art food will be:
-representational (food shaped or decorated to look like something)
-abstract (food shaped or decorated as an exercise in form)
-conceptual (food based on a philosophical idea)
-process-oriented (food which was made, or must be eaten, in a particular way)
