A Message from the Student Editor‌

Welcome to the third edition of the Rend Lake College Arts Publication Lake. Artwork in many forms of media will be found within this publication. These works are gathered by me and the editorial staff listed on page two and are put creatively into place by RLC Graphic Design Students under the direction of Jennifer Tarantino-Linsin.

Artists featured in this journal include RLC Students (both traditional and non-traditional), RLC Faculty and Staff, some of whom are retired, and members of the local communities which RLC serves.

Lake is one of the best ways to promote our very talented artists. We hope that artists featured in Lake use this as a way to promote themselves and their hard work.

My editorial experience begins with a similar publication produced during my junior and senior years of high school. I, along with fellow staff members, produced Volumes 35 and 36 of JAVA, a Mount Vernon Township High School, Vernois Publications Group literarymagazine. Along with that, I was recruited to be a staff member of

SPRING 2013

the Vernois Yearbook the second semester of my junior year. One might say I caught on quickly, as I co-edited the Vernois the following school year. These experiences came up in conversation between Lake Editor Peggy Davis and me, just after the release of Lake’s First Edition. After much discussion, the editors asked me to join them in creating the Second and Third editions.

I am more than happy to be a part of Lake. However, the production goes beyond the named editors and me. The color scheme and template were created by RLC sophomore Sara Barnett. Printing was carried out by Director of Marketing and Publication Chad Copple, along with Assistant Director Nathan Wheeler. The judging process was conducted by several individuals. None of this would have been possible without these very important and creative people. We thank them and our readers for making Lake a success.

As soon as I seen this dead, rotting, dear carcus I had to pull over and take a picture of it! It’s not very often you see people taking pictures of dead things, but that’s what I love about it! I really like how all of the negative colors made this peice stand out. It’s so abstract that you truely can’t figure out what it is at first but after you study it, it’s obvious. I love taking photographs of ‘not so attractive’ things and making them look beautiful!

I’ve always been interested in photography from a young age. It all started when I captured a picture of a house while in a moving car and I went back and returned until I captured the house perfectly in frame, perfectly in focus, perfect lighting. It all seemed so natural to me, so purposeful. I love taking pictures of things and objects rather than people, and I love the geometric aspect of it as well. These pictures are inspired by my passions, what drives me and interests me. My turntable is one of my favorite objects, the way it spins and produces such sounds is simply fascinating to me. I love the abandoned aspect of the school bus; the nostalgia, the life lost in itself. The Urban photograph was captured in North St. Louis, I loved the subtlety of the couple walking across an otherwise lonely and unthriving street.

Where I Live I live in a small Mid-Western town at the crossroads of two major interstates, I-57 going north/south, and I-64 leading east/west. I often wonder what this town would be like if the Eisenhower administration had not championed all those asphalt rivers of human movement. Everywhere I go I meet people who’ve been through here, spending the night or grabbing a meal en route to somewhere else, somewhere more glamorous.

Living at a crossroads affects people’s lives in some unexpected ways. The local college teaches truck driving courses where men and women learn to pilot the eighteen-wheelers that flood our exit ramps. Many local artists and writers have driven these beasts of commerce to support themselves while practicing their creative crafts. I think this town must be home to some of the most gentle-natured and well educated truckers in the business.

Sitting on two interstates, we have virtually every chain restaurant known to humankind.

Only the locals know the real culinary gems like the 9th Street Grille and the Frosty Mug since they are tucked far away from the more recognizable names. Sometimes you see the more adventurous travelers at these less-known restaurants, though. They are the twenty-somethings who eschew the franchises and search out local favorites on their smart-phones, or couples in their fifties who believe life is too short to settle for ordinary food. I sometimes feel like I should congratulate them for seeing beyond the interstate, but we Midwesterners can never be quite that bold.

Autumn is my favorite season for the interstates. Just as the monarch butterflies are heading south and geese are beginning to honk overhead, you can see a human migration at the highway. Well-organized Hispanic families in their clean American-made trucks are heading out after a season of picking apples and peaches. Homeless men are hitchhiking through in search of a warmer place to spend the winter, and groups of colorfully clad youth are “spare changing” on their way to the Rainbow Gathering. So, long after the thistle and black-eyed-Susans have ceased to grace the roadside, these travelers bring a splash of beauty all their own.

At dusk the restaurant and hotel signs form a neon bouquet of color that floats high above the interstate signpost directing travelers on their way. Sometimes when I drive under these signs and past the nearby lakes and woodlands, I wonder if the city folks who come here to fish, golf, or just pass through are envious of peaceful place I get to live full time. I like to think they are.

When I take photographs I like to set up my own scenes. I chose to do this scence because it’s not something you see every day, it’s ‘funky’ and diffrent. It is kind of an abstract image. Anybody can stand and take pictures of nature wich is why i like to be diffrent with what I take and put my own unique style into them.

The Elderbus Little old men with hurry-up steps, women obsessed with their pills and their pets, others attired for a formal affair powder their noses and dab at their hair; sour-faced duffers clad in defeat turn suddenly gallant and offer their seats – clutching like grievances four shopping bags, begging indulgence for their bad foot, (which drags).

Fretful of finance, chatty or numb – worried about the Kingdom to come; invoking the aid of the Church and its saints: all of them ready to burst with complaints.

Kyle Ingram Grace in Violence Nicholas Jennings Watercolor Pen and Ink

“

The piece Grace in Violence was completed fairly quickly from concept to completion. I had a strong mental image of I what I wanted the woman to look like and although it didn’t come out quite as planned I am satisfied with the result. There is a lot of conflicting imagery that really leaves the subject ambiguous and It’s mostly open to interpretation. This painting was more or less inspired by the song ‘New Eden” by Animals as Leaders.

I loved art all my life and i was always drawn to nature. I didnt really start photography till a family trip to the ocean. I feel in love with it. All my friends and family have always been supportive of me and my passion.

Running late for school one morning I go out to my car and see the beautiful fog. I have to stop its an amazing view with the leaves and the neighbors fence leading in to the mistery of the fog. To say the least i got the photo but was late for class.

‘Fur Elise’ was written in response to my bout with depression the summer previous to writing this. It is, quite simply, the creepiest story I have written to date.

Art is my escape, my passion, my connection to the rest of the world. Portraits are a predominant part of my work. My goal is to capture an emotion, or an inner and sometimes underlying feeling. I want my audience to not just see a portrait but to connect with the subject in a meaningful way. This particular piece evolved from a moment on a rainy day when I saw my 6 year old daughter setting in deep contemplation, as if she had the weight of the world on her tiny shoulders.

“

Hospitality My name is Cee Jay and I am currently a fine art student at Rend Lake Collage. I use many different media in my work, but I focus on Printmaking and Sculpture. I create art as a way to visually express and explore my ideas about the world, but more often myself. The central themes of the art I make are insecurities, fear, growth, and the feeling of being at a stage in life were you are asked to behave as an adult, expected to behave like an adolescent, and treated like a child. My art helps me to sort out my feelings about life and is extremely personal to me, but my goal for the viewer of my pieces is that they will then think about their life and their ideas, because very few often do.

Cold Call Nicholas Jennings Watercolor Pen and Ink

“

The name Cold Call is a reference to an album of the same name by the band OSI. This piece was heavily inspired by Plante of the Apes, Sunshine, and other sci-fi movies that take place in deep space, as well as the music of OSI and Chroma Key. All in all this painting was completed fairly quickly, taking in to consideration the amount of hours invested.

This was the first watercolor piece I have done in roughly 4 years. Both Grace in Violence and this piece are what I would consider sketches.

I have always loved photography. Being able to capture a moment in time is an incredible concept to me. In a single flash you can freeze time to create a beautiful piece of art.

It’s more than an interest for me, it’s a passion I will hold on to forever. I was honored to be the Editor-In-Chief of the yearbook at Mt. Vernon Township High School my Senior year where my love for photography really took flight. It continues to swore today in my film photography class at Rend Lake College.

Tuesday Alan Alda once said, “You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of intuition. What you find will be wonderful. What you find will be yourself.” He was partially right but where he was wrong, he was really wrong.

I think I did a bad thing. I found myself.

It began over five months ago, at work. I work as a cashier in a small clothing shop that was established before, and has outlasted, several larger chains, primarily due to tight purse strings and a nearly non-existent employee perks package. Sometimes I have to make do with meals of cheesy mac, but food is food. And I usually have enough to splurge on payday so I can pick up a couple books or movies to keep myself entertained. I like the simplicity of it all. It’s not the career I envisioned for myself but it is a steady paycheck.

In a fateful twist, our clientele mirrors our pay; there never seems to be many customers but they keep trickling in day after day. This can cause the days to pass pretty slowly. It was on such a day that I first heard it, at least on a conscious level. Most employees rarely pay attention to in-store music. It plays endlessly and becomes an almost imperceptible white noise. Unless, of course, it’s a song we hate, at which point it is immediately heard and hated. But on this day, as I stood waiting, folding a slowly decreasing pile of shirts, my mind began to wander and I found the music pouring from the overhead speaker to be somewhat pleasant.

I didn’t pay much attention to it at first. It was a simple little bluesy number, maybe a bit of electronica worked in, but tastefully. Mostly the song seemed to focus on a singular driving beat and the throaty voice of whomever was singing. It was a nice piece, catchy and unthreatening. So I did what we all do with songs on the radio, listened for a bit and moved on.

That night was a Friday; after work I went home and put a turkey meal in the microwave and began to read my latest book. During the slow bits, I found myself humming. Slowly it occurred to me that I was humming the song from work. My thoughts were interrupted by the beeping of the microwave and I set my book aside in favor of food.

Some days later, I caught it playing again and decided that the artist had a cool sound I could appreciate and that possibly I’d like to hear more than just one of her songs. I took a quick break, retreated to the break room, and tried to listen, picking out relatable words and such. It was rough going, being an older store we have to make do with what we have and what we have are old brown speakers consisting of wood and string. If you have ever seen a cartoon school, we have the speakers that the principle makes announcements on.

Two weeks passed and the song never played. Our music is piped in via a company computer, so the rotation is eclectic and highly random. I had almost forgotten about the song. Instead I was trying to remember what had been playing at the movies. Jamie had taken our road trip as a sort of ‘first date’ and I found myself happy enough with the idea. She seemed to share a lot of my interests, and now that I found myself ‘part of the scene,’ I was finding more and more people who also shared my views.

Then one day as I stood pricing a few golf shirts, I heard it once again. Quickly I clocked out and took my break.

Once I ran to the safety of the break room, I busted out my phone and loaded up the app. I hurriedly closed the doors to ensure that no background noise would contaminate the sample. After a long and excruciating minute, my phone advised me that it could find no match. Dismayed I got two similar apps and tried again about a week later. They gave me the same results, which was nothing. At this point I began to question my own rationality. The song had to exist, I had heard it and so had everyone I had encountered those past few months.

Women Are From Mars Jacob Dial Black & White Photo

Then I got a bright idea. I would record the song and put it on the Internet. I was a member of at least a dozen music related websites. People knew me; surely someone in the vast reaches of the electronic wasteland would know this song.

A month passed before the song came on again. When it did, I was setting up a few sale displays (my newfound zeal in life had carried over to my job; I landed a promotion), whistling quietly (I could have been singing; I had memorized all the words by this point). One of the other coworkers let out a sharp whistle and pointed at the ceiling, letting me know the song was on (all of them knew about the song and my obsession by now). I pulled out my cell phone (I carried it everywhere now) and set it to record.

That night I went home and connected my phone to my computer. There was the song, as clear as day. Quickly I worked up a simple video asking for assistance. Then I dubbed the song over it and sent my creation out onto YouTube. I tagged it: unknown, song, Tuesdays, love, river, sex, boobs, nudity, and a few other key words to bog up a person’s search.

Two days later, I had received a handful of replies. Each one was practically the same.

They had never heard it before, but they liked it.

I checked a week later, discussion was rampant but no one knew the song. I’ve even heard my recording at the clubs; local DJ having ripped it off YouTube. A week after that, I stopped checking the replies, but the ‘like’ bar kept rising. That was two weeks ago. Still no one knows the name of the song.

Beauty is Poison Lee Knaus Watercolor Pen and Ink

It doesn’t play on the store radio anymore, but I still hear it. Customers come in singing it all the time now. Sometimes it’s just head nodding and I still recognize the beat. No one knows the name of the song, but its number-one on all the charts.

And number-two, and -three, and -four….

I don’t go out anymore.

It’s always Tuesday.

“

A while back I became enamored with an unknown song and was left with few ways to discover its identity. It very much became a minor obsession of mine and I am pleased to say that I finally located the song. During my search, however, it struck me that as we march on with technology we are slowly losing the concept of “fleeting memories.”

The modern world makes it so easy to find things, or locate things that were once lost. I wanted to defy technology, and use its own evil power against it Shawn Campbell
