Camera Roll – Work by UBCO Photography Students

The second semester of the senior photography class at UBCO is devoted to developing the student’s individual vision. There are no projects assigned and each person is encouraged to research and begin to investigate subject matter and styles of working that are relevant and meaningful to themselves. The results are seen here as early worlds in the new careers of emerging artists.
The work has been divided into two exhibition with two distinct orientations. The first group’s work uses the landscape as a starting point for inspiration and the second group uses the figure as its central theme.

The Landscape:
Kelsie Balehowdky, Faith Clancy, Taylor Crain, Shea Hermanson, Natalie Kreining , Michelle Mackay, Mandira Rajasheker, Gemma Rose, Ali Young
The Figure:
Catriona Blair, Pilar Guinea, Emerald Holden, Dean Krawchuck, Alia Popoff, Ashley Taron

(147.001+105.002)

University of British Columbia students from within two distinctly different FCCS courses developed this collaborative exhibition of works. VISA 105 students are producing sculptural works in their first year of the BFA program; here they are experimenting with occupying space in a sculptural and interactive way. VISA 147 students are members of a wide range of departments, from Management to the Sciences and beyond. They are taking the course as an elective in which they have the opportunity to learn about the world of contemporary art while also developing their own art-making abilities.

Each student’s work was juried into this exhibition by their peers, and it has been our pleasure to help them curate and hang the selection. Special thanks go to Crystal Baird, Devon Hess, Wenloong Loh, Rachel Mercer and Melanie Oberg for their hard work installing the show.
