College of Art and Architecture Student Awards Spring 2021
ON THE COVER: Mike Sonnichsen, Emerson’s Transcendental Subway Map x 2, Lego Letterpress, 2019 The overlapping translucent color blends seen here suggest the meandering paths we are all travelling upon in our lives of learning and experience. The students and teachers we spend time with literally “color” our way of seeing and moving through the world. One’s path may include detours from our initial aims, but these shifts can offer us a better perspective and perhaps fonder memories of our shared time, effort, and accomplishments. This piece was letterpress printed from 4 Lego “flat tile” patterns in a 180° “work & whirl” manner and slyly suggests that a re-reading of Emerson in the present age may be useful.

A senior in the Art + Design program
Personal Rendition of Zoe Leonard’s “I Want a President” (1992) I want to go to a gallery where I can be challenged by what I see and hear. I want to be under an impression or tasked to see in ways we don’t normally look. I want wall text that antagonizes and welcomes the audience. I want to go into a gallery with a deck of cards that tell me to focus on one color for each piece. I want a deck of cards that tells me what perspective I should use for analysis. I want to look at art from the corner of a room looking out. I want to look at art from the ground looking up. I want the presence of the artists to be a background thought. I want to have the artists lurking in the background. I want the security guards to be more informed on the exhibit than the curators. I want to walk into a gallery that makes diner food, with domino tiles and red leather bench seats. I want blaring music to drown out everyone so that it is just me and my thoughts. I want a round table to sit at where the audience can discuss their thoughts. I want to leave the gallery with a sticker that says “Art, yes! I tried that!”. I want to leave the gallery with new ideas and perspectives. I want to leave the gallery with a friend I made along the way. I want to leave the gallery on a rainy day, with no coat or umbrella. I want to go back the very next day. I want to start the process over again and again.
