Shortlist week feb 20-24

My Aunt Made This:
Juli Cady Ryan paints simple but busy paintings complete with circles and swirls and curves. Her paintings are unique but almost have a Dr.Seuss essence about them. They lean and swirl and have your eyes following their every line and curl. Some tell a story. a Twisting ladder leaning up to the moon, encouraging the chasing of dreams. Another depicts serenity and peace and beauty with fairies dancing in the moonlight.

My Cousin "made" this
My cousin Molly is a senior at Snider and is partially beginning a side career as a model. She takes really interesting photos and some of the unique ones aren't on here. Her brother is a photographer and she also works with Nathan Gerard. The antique and yellowish tint to the first picture add to its antiquity. The long plain skirt is an essence of elegance. The second picture looks more commercial, like it should be in a magazine. The complex modern outfit and bag contrast but go well with the raggedy ordinary background. I really like her modeling and her photos that she takes because they are so artistic and creative, I don't know if that creativity should actually be dubbed to the photographer, but I love it either way.

Cool Book Origami
The folded pages of the ordinary books creates an extraordinary amazement of what time and talent can create. Imagine how much time and creativity folding book pages into a work of art must require. The 3d words or phrases pop out of themselves to attract the eyes. The cream pages are unique in themselves except that as a whole, they piece together to make a master piece.
