To first start off, I really enjoyed the exhibition and the displays of the artists works. I was able to see them in person and honestly to get the experience to see them in person to have them discuss about works that are extremely important is very important. Not everyone has the privilege to see artists in person to describe their pieces and discuss about them with such thought, mindfulness, and discipline. So to be able to be in the same room as them give me a reflection that one day hopefully I will be able to do what these artists has conveyed to our society and world.
Now to discuss about which art work has stood out to me as all of them are great and conveys great topics. But the ones that has made me reflect a little more was the artists name Katelyn Halpern and Tina Maneca. First I will discuss about the perspective and thoughts I held when looking at Maneca's work. When I first looked at it, I saw a nursery and a home where a toddler or an infant would live on. It seems to be more of a representation of the childhood memories and what was left behind looking at it years later. I noticed the stuff toys and the joys I felt when entering the small space Maneca has created for us. I loved how it has to do with childhood home, and the memories it gives us. I also enjoyed the color theory and the sequence of patterns that the piece has to offer (of course Maneca has worked on this). It is very simple but yet very complex, which was why I found her work to be very endearing and just beautiful (emotionally). And to see that perception was closer to what Maneca was trying to convey — is spot on.
Katelyn Halpern piece to me in perspective made me overwhelmed, which is quite odd since it is just a yes or no question. But honestly this piece has caught my eye right away and I took images of them along the way because it just made me reflect a lot. During the time of seeing them it seemed like I had a choice at first but then the questions get different and limiting, which causes the loop and stress I had. Honestly, I liked this piece because of the personal experience I get as a viewer and an artist who is seeing other professionals work (I am not a professional for clarification but I hope I become one). It makes me have the urge to fill in the boxes and answer but yet I cannot. This is another piece that is so simple but yet so complex and all this piece did was ask questions, but also heightened emotions that was never there before. Overall this gives a viewer and the creator a different dynamic — which allows us to just be.
