Forest Aeon INTERRRACTION VIII, 2020 India ink on Bristol smooth paper 19 x 24 inches $1200

“INTERRRACTION VIII is the eighth piece of my INTERRRACTION series, which consists of abstract algorithmic paintings done mostly on Bristol or watercolor paper in India ink with brush. These paintings have become tools of meditation where I focus on a concept or set of related concepts to guide the work. The inspiration for this process is a combination of the simple brilliance of Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Net paintings, and the experience as an adult of watching Mr. Rogers give so much love to so many people, which helped me to realize I have a lot of pain where love is supposed to be. Through this series, I have learned there is pain and there is love and it is all enmeshed beautifully.”

Stefani Anderson I’m Fine, 2021 Oil on Canvas 60 x 48 x 2 inches $5000

“This represents the last year for me. There has been so much stuff (not just COVID), it’s overwhelming. During a very emotional day this image came to me. I knew I had to paint it. I also knew no small painting would do. So I got the biggest canvas that would fit in my car and for two weeks I poured all my emotions into this painting. It was every emotional to finish it.”

Kelsey Critchfield In Captivity, 2021 Oil on canvas 20 x 16 x 1 1/2 inches $1850

“Inspired by the iconic medieval ‘Unicorn in Captivity’ tapestry, many art historians have interpreted the original piece’s meaning and symbolism.

However, through the many challenges and events that have happened this past year, I have felt we have all been held ‘captive,’ quarantined to our homes, and unable to travel or visit others. Much like the unicorn in isolation, we are anxiously waiting to be free once again.”

Detail

“’Deflation of the Flesh’ is a robe made of balloons and red thread, hand stitched over the course of five months. Through the action of hand stitching, the balloons which are typically regarded as a vanity junk product have been treated with copious love and overt labor…because of the necessary punctures through the balloons in order to sew them together, the original function of the balloons has been negated.”

Jonna Ramey Source of Power, 2021 Springstone, Purpleheart 23 x 9 x 8 inches $1900

Detail

“In May 2020, a young Black woman had the courage to film the murder of George Floyd and post it for the world to see. All that summer, Black women across America led protests and engaged local governments and police to make powerful change. And Black women across the South organized and got voters to the polls in November of that year in record numbers.

Black women did all this during a deadly pandemic. These women are the inspiration for ‘Source of Power.’ ‘Source of Power’ was sculpted in 2021 from Zimbabwean springstone, mounted on purpleheart wood. The female form’s very pregnant belly shows her potent power. The raw stone elements and tool marks suggest that the piece may be an artifact old as human time but absolutely of the present.”

Christina Riccio Manifestations, 2020 Porcelain & mother of pearl luster 3 x 5 x 5 inches NFS

Detail

“Mental illness is a constant, unrelenting struggle from which my sense of reality is irrevocably tied. The pull of ceaseless darkness threatening to drag me under, alongside of the constant and unrelenting cycle of irrational thoughts, causes an invisible battle created by depression and anxiety. While this battle may be unrecognizable to others, I can feel my symptoms crawling, slithering, and squirming throughout my mind and body. Manifestations are a physical representation of managing symptoms behind closed doors.”

Christina Truong Attain, 2021 Digital painting, Procreate 20 x 16 x 1 inches $150

“This piece is a digital painting of a friend. It is referenced from a photo I took of her one afternoon right after we had finished our meal at a restaurant that was relatively posh. Neither of us come from affluent backgrounds nor have we enjoyed the privileges that come from being in the majority group. We didn’t allow it to keep us from enjoying what we worked so laboriously to attain.

When we first entered the restaurant, we felt out of place, but by the time we were leaving I felt gratified by something more than the meal. I noticed how well the environment complimented her and that we weren’t so estranged after all. It was a moment where I appreciated how far we had come.”

Peter Wiarda A Death In The Family, 2021 Digital photographs printed on aluminum panels 25 x 68 x 1 inches $630.21

“This is an exploration of grief, of mourning a loss that was only a matter of time. In preparation for the death, I developed digital processing techniques that amplify noise in underexposed areas of a photograph and distort the delicate transitions between colors in the brighter areas. I bend the editing software to extreme limits to create otherworldly light and color, while preserving enough of the original sensor data to still call this a photographic image. From left to right, the images increase in distortion; the photographic presence gives way to digital manipulation. The final image, a shade of its former self, balances on the edge of known and unknown. A few steps further, (who knows how many?) and the image will cease to exist, fading into the chaos of noise.”

MönSr Yusef About Face 1, 2021 Colored pencil on paper 14 x 12 inches $4000

From the T.A.N.G (Thuggin’: A New Generation) fashion design series, Yusef explores many themes from his life on the streets using poetry, images of pop culture, fashion and design to inspire hope of a unified humanity. “I was raised in environments of turmoil and chaos—from Oklahoma, to New York to California. Amid the chaos, I wrote and created works that reflected what I have seen as problems and solutions to the human ailment of being immoral and destructive.” Through his T.A.N.G. series, Yusef is attempting to redefine a new generation of people labelled as ‘thugs,’ describing them as “people who accept what and who they are, allowing nothing and no one to prevent them from accomplishing their goals.”

SLCC ART COMMITTEE

The planning and implementation of the annual President’s Art Show is just one way in which the SLCC Art Committee supports and encourages the arts throughout the college. We strive to enrich the college environment and to inspire our students, faculty and staff by collecting and exhibiting artworks that represent diverse cultures, thoughts and expressions that embrace artistic and academic excellence. We develop, protect, display and catalog the college’s Permanent Art Collection of over 500 works. Additionally, we program the college’s art gallery spaces including The George S. & Dolores Doré Eccles Gallery and LED Exhibition Wall in the Edna Runswick Taylor Foyer at our South City Campus. It is our goal to connect with the community by creating a platform for artistic dialogue and exchange, displaying the collection throughout seven campuses across the Salt Lake Valley and curating exhibitions throughout the academic year.
