Elizabeth May
STATEMENT: Inspired by my complicated relationship with organized religion, I conceived of “Altar” to address my anxieties and fears around God. Using hand drawn and digitally composed images, I created a series of large scale illustrations exploring different ideas surrounding religion. The final result is an animated mural, a projection divided into three vertical panels, that mimics reverential art and altarpieces of the middle ages and Renaissance era. Using Judeo-Christian imagery, references from popular culture and mass media, and personal iconography to situate the viewer, my illustrations will both amuse and challenge the audience. I explore ideas surrounding one’s personal relationship with God, prayer, omnipotence, creation, justice, and redemption.
BIO: Elizabeth May is a digital artist based in Brooklyn, NY. She holds an undergraduate degree in art history. She is a student in Pratt’s dual masters program, earning a degree in library and information science and a MFA in digital art.

THE PRESENT IS THE PAST
MFA Digital Arts Thesis Exhibition
http://shukuanglin.com/art/thepresentisthepast.html
THE PRESENT IS THE PAST was inspired by the artist’s grandmother, who is suffering
from dementia. In the installation, participants will visually experience a feeling of
demented memory, which reflects the confused relationship between the Alzheimer’s
patients and people around them. It forces participants to empathize with Alzheimer’s
patients who are stuck in a timeline and trying to escape from chaos. Shu-Kuang
attempts to bring an inside into Alzheimer’s disease and positively understand his
grandma’s unusual world in an artistic light.

STATEMENT:
“What do you say by saying so?” is an investigation of language barriers and the ambiguity written or spoken experiences can bring. This exhibition, by Tzu Huan Lin, is a reflection of alienation resulting from miscommunication and physical relocation. Lin sees language as a vital tool for human expression; non-native speakers suffer from cultural disjuncture, however they chose to live in a foreign city and attempt to adapt to that new environment.
