Best Student Submission: Skulls and Objects by Alexia Jack

Juror'due south Argument

Cheers for the opportunity to view all the work that was submitted for the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts.  I enjoyed having the opportunity to see what people have been doing during this very challenging time with the COVID pandemic, and in a time where in many ways the country is divided.

I saw piece of work that expressed isolation, loneliness, and political upheaval.  I saw work that may accept served equally a respite. As artists we know that art tin can sometimes save us.  We can get into the studio and turn abroad from the world, and there nosotros tin can use our work to respond to our experience of the earth or create an alternative earth.  Information technology requires that in some measure we turn inward and spend fourth dimension within ourselves. For many, this is deeply restorative.

Equally y'all know, there was no theme to the exhibition and no prompt.  The piece of work was very diverse, both in terms of medium and point of view. I did not curate an exhibition, I had no overarching objective or point I was trying to make.  I chose to consider each work closely on its own merits.  I viewed this as an opportunity to revisit my own values in assessing quality-something nosotros each practise as we consider what we hope to express and accomplish with our work. In this, I was reminded of a quote by Philip Guston who when asked nigh how he determines quality in work, replied "How many senses does it give to the questions what is it and where is information technology?" I remember what I am ever sniffing out in work is a kind of actuality.  I believe that what nosotros experience as we brand work shows upward in the work. The closer we can get to our felt response or bespeak of fascination in the act of making the work, the more it tin exist experienced by the viewer.  On a adieu, information technology is every bit though we disappear and become a conduit bringing into the globe this affair nosotros are after. The ego disappears and the work is not about the states just through united states of america.

I value work that besides responds to the inherent nature of the medium. To see that a coat may be a coat but non just a coat. To see that a glaze is also a shape, and a shape that interacts with other shapes, that information technology is a color and that color has an coaction with other colors, that it is a vertical and has diagonals that create a relationship with other diagonals, weaving together an interconnectedness that makes the piece of work feel like an organism.  This goes dorsum to what Guston talks about when he says "How many senses does it give the questions what is information technology and where is it."

The jurying process was slow and careful and I revisited each piece of work more times than I tin can count. I am sensitive to the shortcoming of looking at work digitally-scale is very important and I know large works in particular cannot be fully appreciated at a smaller scale. In the best possible earth, jurying takes place with the original work, something not ever feasible, especially this year and final twelvemonth.

Identifying prizes and awards was peculiarly disturbing.  There were works included in the exhibition that I would have liked to be able to recognize simply I ran out of awards! At that place are images of works from the exhibition that I loved and that I carry with me and revisit in my listen.

That seems to me to be the power of art!  Many thanks for sending me off with that gift.

Respectfully,

Betsey Batchelor
