III. MIMIC, DIVISION, INIATIVE

Artwork Corinna Ray, Katelyn Hancock & Merritt Milam

THROUGH MARCH 27
Artwork: Corinna Ray, Least Educated Choice

The three young women graduating this May from Birmingham Southern College offer very different themes and media.

Hancock explores Facebook, Twitter and other vehicles of digitalized social networking that offer a quick and convenient medium through which we exchange bites of our ideas, emotions, and stories with one another.

Ray challenges an artist’s influential power to recognize truth and give the audience something to believe in through positive manipulation.

Milam uses multiple exposures, as opposed to single exposures, to represent life as it occurs or rather as it is remembered. When captured in a photographic light this “memory” takes on a surreal look that represents a moment with more accuracy than a traditional approach.
