Jenny Holzer, Artist
"Whether questioning consumerist impulses, describing torture, or lamenting death and disease, Jenny Holzer’s use of language provokes a response in the viewer. While her subversive work often blends in among advertisements in public space, its arresting content violates expectations. Holzer’s texts—such as the aphorisms “Abuse of power comes as no surprise” and “Protect me from what I want”—have appeared on posters and condoms, and as electronic LED signs and projections of xenon light." -from the ART 21 website.

Pen and ink, 20" x 30"
Students were asked to find 10 objects and use these objects to influence a drawing.
Student Work, Johanna Falzone
"For Walk The Line I wrote a six page essay called I Walk My Feminist Line which explains how I became a Feminist. After Writing the paper I felt like everything in the essay was too personal and I didn’t want anyone to read it, so I began to destroy the essay. Bellow are photos of the final product of destruction and rebuilding of the essay into a new object." -Johanna Falzone
