Favourite: Lisa Henriques,

“There are some everywhere”

I like the simplicity and quiet eloquence.
The asymmetrical arrangement and colours
evoke a relationship with the earth.

Least Understood: Sharon Rossnagel,

“At this point in time”
These abstract paintings don’t grab me. The
canvases seem small, and the colours muddy.
I’m not sure how the title relates, but I think
that this work is difficult for people other than
the artist to understand.

Favourite:

Madeleine Chevalier, “Untitled”

I find these paintings very striking -
they immediately catch my eye.
Having been a drawing student in
high school engaged in self-portraits
(and being a total disaster at it) I
certainly appreciate people who are
proficient at it, as Madeleine is.

Favourite:

Dan Vogel,

“The Train Leaves as It Arrives”
I really like artwork that has a
whimsical aspect, like this does.
This piece is fun.

Least Understood:
June Micklethwaite, “Untitled”
It doesn’t do anything for me
aesthetically or intellectually — it’s
just sort of a blob that’s there.

Elizabeth Edward, Assistant Registrar

Favourite: Suzannah Carnie, “Semantics”

It speaks to me from the aspect of language. The pieces
are different shapes and sizes, so each looks like a
different word, all making up sentences and paragraphs;
the different pieces are like consonants and vowels.

Least Understood:
Robert Harper Jones,
“Untitled (Sandbags)”

I don’t understand

what Robert is trying to
say with the tubing and
the bags. I presume that
the difference of colour
between the pink and
black objects holds
meaning, but I don’t
understand it. It doesn’t
make me like it or
dislike it.

Least Understood:
June Micklethwaite,
“Untitled”

I can appreciate the
time and effort that
went into the
construction of the
brain, but I’d
appreciate it a little
more if I could
understand the
message that the
artist was trying to
convey.
