 ‘Silverworks’ showcases students
By Hannah Pittard The “Silverworks 2003” collection is on display at Bergen Hall Gallery through Jan. 5, 2004. Silverworks, a popular magazine-format portfolio of student work, is edited annually by members of the student organization PhotoGroup, whose student director is Bobbi Peck. This year’s collection features black-and-white and color photography in a variety of styles, including portraits, figural representations, scenic views and digital compositions. All work is by SCAD undergraduate and graduate students. Highlights include senior Emma Tresemer’s “Kitchen = Rage,” a color print in which a seemingly calm and clean, white kitchen is the blurry background for an in-focus pink note on which the word “rage” has been scrawled. “Kristine and Avery,” a silver gelatin print by graduate student Andrea Gordon Murrill, shows off the independent attitudes of two young children. The detail of Kristine’s freckles and stonewashed jeans make this print especially memorable. Other eye-catchers are “The New Family” by Sara Padgett and “Picnic Table, Hatteras, NC” by Martin Buday — both of which call into question the so-called norms of suburban living using color photography; “Holga Meets the Birds” a piezography print by sophomore Eddie O’Bryan; and “Games We Play” by graduate student Dan Saelinger. In addition to work by those photographers already named, work by Peck, Jason Thomas Meehan, Chris Cognazzo, Blake Shell, Lauren Helena Wilenski, Veronique Lanza, Phoenix Lindsey-Hall, Joanna McClure, Megan Senior, Robert A. Fiedler III, Mindy Frazier, Erica Riccardelli, Gray Lyons, Katie M. Hilbert, Dale Robertson, Katie Thielke, Benjamin Freshman, Jennifer Loshaw, Hee Youn Kim, Karin Puschendorf, Jeremias Paul, Nicole Wendtlandt, Kipp Howe, Eliza Lamb Murr, Ginny Lee, Robert Park, Tammy Ten Bruin, Harvey Robinson, Pat Heagney, Allison K. Knight, Larissa Thut, Eddie O’Bryan and Andrew Johnson is on display. Ultimately, the “Silverworks 2003” collection proves every bit worthy of its reputation for showcasing the talents of SCAD photography students. “Silverworks 2003” is on display at Bergen Hall Gallery, 101 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., through Jan. 5, 2004. |
