The first exhibit of senior projects has just opened in the A&A building-photography by Caitlin Cleary, JE '96, Katherine Hall's, BK '96, graphic designs, and paintings by Lauren Kangas, JE '96. The theme of Kangas' paintings is tropical marine life. Her color paintings and black-and-white sketches portray the life teeming beneath the surface of the ocean. Especially wonderful is her use of bold, bright colors to contrast the shadowy intimations of other creatures lurking in the background.
Cleary's project is a work in progress. Most of the photographs feature a particular house and its surroundings. The most intriguing element of her project is that this is only evident through a close examination of each image. Every time I went back over the images I felt as though I discovered something new.
Hall's project is based upon the designs which roll at the beginning of a film as the backdrop to the title and preliminary credits. She has taken graphics from Mongolian art and used them as a backdrop to the superimposed credits of a hypothetical film about Marco Polo.
