For their final projects, students created album covers as self-portraits. They took inspiration from two incredible bodies of work: Shizu Saldamando's solo exhibition L.A. Intersections at Oxy Arts, and Stephanie Burt's book of poetry, Advice from the Lights. Students visited Saldamando's exhibition during a field trip earlier this Spring, and have been reading and responding to Burt's book both physically and now virtually. They used the process of creating these self-portraits to reflect on their own identities and experiences at this time. The process incorporated poetry, visual language, drawing, and collage. 

Please be patient, as gallery may take a few minutes to load. Best experienced on desktop.
