Danielle Irwin, Student Work

"As a child, my mom and I used to always paint on our plates. This quirky tradition was always very special to me and so it is the basis for my idea. On the plates, I painted objects that represent equally happy and special memories. These memories, in my mind and in this piece, stand above those within this time that are a bit painful. I created this piece by scanning a part of my journal that wrestles with the memories of the latter category, and having the text printed on fabric, which now functions as the table cloth. I chose to display the cloth and plates on a table to communicate the concept of dinner time, a traditional basis for memories in most families' lives." - Danielle Irwin

Studio Maarten Kolk and Guus Kusters

The Netherland-based designers and committed naturalists exhibited ‘Avifauna’, meaning ‘the birds of a particular region, habitat, or geological period’; a collection of 13 stuffed bird species. The breeds of birds displayed range from a swan and a stork to a woodcock and a quail, and this is shown through a variety of shapes and sizes. Less controversial than Damien Hirst, the duo’s  birds ‘wear’ knitted and black textile fabrics instead of plumage. Whereas viewers usually have a reaction of distaste for dead animals on display, the designer duo have presented and incorporated these birds into a more romantic narrative of life.  Several thoughts can strike one when looking at them. Onlookers responded to these birds with sensitivity despite the absurdity of the bird’s situation. And this doesn’t really require any more explanation. After all, it is life imitating art.

I used various chains and ropes I found in my garage to form a huge circle comprised of different patterns, textures, and colors.

I looked in my fridge and saw some almost empty bottles of juice, milk, and water. I decided to use the contents as my debris, pouring the liquids onto a sheet of white computer paper. It created the conglomeration in the first image. Photographing it from various angles, I was amazed at the clarity of my window in the reflection.
