Internet Research Project (Thompson)



I was having huge technically difficulties with copy and pasting creating tables that were impossible to maneuver or remove, so bear with me here.

green forest by Hong Seon Jang
Jung created this piece using tape o green chalkboard. He is fascinated by the combination of human consumption and the natural world. This piece stuck out to me as both beautiful and meaningful, with an interesting mark-making technique. He has some installations that I don't understand but in general seems like a solid artist.

worry and spin #2 (red) by Jill Auckenthaler

Jill uses her love of organization to categorize the lines in her pieces and bring order to the abstraction of her work. All her pieces have very well designed composition and have just the right balance of repetition for me, while still having enough variance to keep interest. This one stuck out to me because I instantly thought it was a flower. On closer inspection, it really isn't. She describes its medium as an ink and paper cut collage.

Detached Observers (Stereoscopic Drawing) by Mike Nudelman

"My work develops out of an ardently optimistic response to technological advancement and a casually philosophical conviction that reality is a multilayered, intangible illusion." He uses mostly ballpoint pen on paper to create overlapping translucent layers. His pieces are a mixture of conspiracy theory and phenomena replication to utopian landscape dreams. This one stuck out to me for multiple reasons. It looks like boobs. But also, in no galaxy could you ever find two moons suspended so close together without collapsing to the pull of eachother.
