I was honored to be able to give a couple talks, hang out with students, and enjoy time with my former graduate students Ian and Natalie Shelly at Western Illinois University over the last couple of days. The second iteration of the exhibition I curated, Subject and Subjectivity, has been on display at WIU for January and will go on through most of February. As I did when the show went up in Baltimore, I have taken some detail shots of some of the work. See below, click for larger glory, and follow the artists’ names to find out more about them on their websites.
If you want to see one of the talks I gave – titled We Are All Sentimental – click here to see the video on YouTube.

Nice shots of details but we have no point of reference.
Two pictures of each would be infinitely more helpful…..the first being of the whole piece.
There is almost something wrong with seeing only details. Is there something we are missing?
Is there whole truth in detail?……truths are all detailed…or has truth been derailed?
Enquiring minds….you know.
Geo – the purpose is to encourage people to see the works in person :)
The details are just little tastes to intrigue and delight!
