Alma Leiva came to SIU to create the next project in her art series, “Celdas” (Prison Cells). Leiva was born and raised in Honduras, which is home to the city, San Pedro Sula, the murder capital of the world. While Leiva was studying in America, she learned her uncle was shot and killed in front of his family in that very city while on their way home from a soccer game. Her art is inspired by the crimes that take place in Honduras. She uses the Celdas as memorials for victims of violence. Each Celda represents a specific tragedy and tells the story of the victims’ murders. They also represent how immigrants who move from Honduras to America still feel the same fear and isolation they felt at home. Leiva juxtaposes indoor and outdoor environments in her pieces. For example, in Celda #8, which was created after the military coup in Honduras in 2010, Leiva uses soil to represent the element of mourning. To honor her uncle’s death, Leiva placed a soccer field in Celda #2. She also began to include specific Mayan gods pertaining to the story she was telling in her works. By Celda #11, Leiva had begun to explore the coping mechanisms people use when restricted by their circumstances, such as expression through art. It was an eye-opening experience to see Leiva’s works and how they represent only a small portion of the tragedies that take place everyday in Honduras.…

In order to establish these references for the viewer – again “without any conclusion”, by omitting, for instance, any action within the film apart from documenting the creating of the work – the artist uses the potential of the image to evoke events or rather narratives, by adding elements that have potential representational associations. Only “potential” because the elements taken from reality are permanently transformed into an abstraction that obscures the usual viewpoint. And yet this done by using means intrinsic to the media: in sewing screens the camera zooms in on the sewing procedure, that consecutively autonomous images are created that dominate the actual process. to grasp. carnal thoughts the blanket not shown from a photographic and perspectival top view, but it is an seemingly cubist montage of image fragments.

All of the works included in this exhibition are prints of photographs taken by Lorraine Field. These pieces are categorized into self portraits, portraitures of landscapes and interior. Internal Differences 1 And 2 are the only pieces in this exhibition that depict a scenario indoors. Internal Differences 1 features Roger Field’s arm chair; internal Difference 2 features the bed Roger Field and Lorraine Field shared. The works Levelled Years 1-4 is another series of self portraits Fields took through the first year after the death of her husband (2013) to four years later. (2017) Continuing with the landscape theme, Lorraine poses herself laying on her side facing the sea, away from the camera. Lorraine wears all black, referencing back to the representative meaning she has already established in previous works discussed. As the viewer travels through the portraits and subsequently the years post mortem, Lorraine sheds her clothing as she gets closer to the sea. This is a metaphor; the clothing represents her withdrawal from the world and the new experience of being on her own for the first time in a very long time. The clothing represents her discomfort with this new world she now lives in. As the clothing becomes more and more scarce, it's a reflection of how Field is becoming more and more comfortable with herself emotionally. Year after year, Lorraine's pose gets more and more comfortable. From curled into a ball on a table the first year, to comfortably lounging in the fourth. No doubt Lorraine is exploring her general feelings about life and death as each year passes since the death of her husband. “Photography has long been associated with death.” ( Lorraine Field, Alas Artist Statement, 2017). Images can be used to create and represent knowledge of a subject. In Alas Field uses the experience of a death of a loved to create a visual narrative that engages the viewer. “The photograph is a central tool in establishing difference. In systems of…

In German photographer Loretta Lux's photographs, striking portraits of well-dressed, doll-like children is digitally placed in a pastel tinted landscape or a studio backdrop while immersed with a cold, post nuclear light. Lux executes her compositions using a combination of photography, painting and digital manipulation. She poses her models, children of her close friends, mostly on a plain white wall and digitally manipulates the background. Her landscape backgrounds are her original photographs taken during her many travels. She also manipulates the proportion of the children's body to create unreal and inharmonious image. Children's eyes are brightly colored, clear, glassy, and expressionless. These children seem like they have no interest in the people looking into the photograph. In fact, they almost seem senseless, uncomfortable with their surrounding.…

I am amazed at how he is able to pick up certain quirks in his subject's personality and build entire scenes around the unusual parts of their character.

Every person has feelings. These feelings are aroused by a catalyst. A touch, a smell, a sight. When a person does art, his or her duty is to titillate the viewer. His or her work must be passionate, captivating and able to be thought about. When an artist renders a piece, be it a painting, water color, sculpture, dance or poem, he or she must inspire the viewer to come back and look at it a second and a third time.

Pablo Picasso’s, Weeping Woman (1937), is a most expressive and eccentric image of a woman in distress. The geometry and shapes in the painting are imaginative and outrageous, with bright colors and shapes of boats and flowers that are, to some extent humorous, except for the profound suffering of the women. The eyes of the women are shaped as boats within a rough sea, spilling tears in the form of diamonds. Diamond shaped tears are also the nails of her hands, held up to her face in fright. With a single image Picasso expresses a complex array of human anguish; terror, despair, outrage, hysteria, and death. The sad and dark eyed woman is Picasso's lover Dora Maar, but the woman is also a symbol of a victim of war or a witness to the war in Spain spreading throughout Europe in 1937.…
