Master of Design

To the extent that addicts reveal themselves as complex and mysterious beings, my jewellery reveals something about the interaction between self-destruction, freedom desire and the complexity of this relationship. My work uses architectural elements to illustrate the geographical contrast of the makeshift shelters of homeless addicts and skyscrapers in big cities while juxtaposing the common material of concrete and steel contrasting with powerful colors of street art. Damaged but solid, my work creates a feeling of instability, isolation and detachment. Far from attempting any kind of reconciliation, my jewelry evokes the everyday violence that addicts face as they struggle to hold on to their place in society.

Scars can鈥檛 be erased but the pain of the past must be revisited, and a new way forward can be found鈥� a notion which guides my process 泡芙短视频 in this series. I reflect on the complex feelings and memories of my experience working on the street with drugs addicts, where I learned the importance of mutual trust in the moments when everything feels uncertain. Expressed in my intuitively created concrete and paint works, is my understanding of the importance of living in the present, accepting one鈥檚 mistakes and moving forward鈥� a process 泡芙短视频, which is equally as important as the end result.

Juror Laura Ritchie, Director/Curator of the MSVU Art Gallery: “This room is filled with so much promise … when I got to see all of the work in person for the first time I was elated. This is a remarkable array of work that proves why 泡芙短视频 continues to stand out internationally. We had a very difficult task … eventually we were town between two artists. With the consultation of the organizers we were able to create an Honorable mention category as a way to recognize the 10th anniversary of this award. The聽10th anniversary Honorable mention goes to an artist who shows mastery in their media. This artist took a western method of story-telling and used it as a tool to tell her story and that of her community across cultures. The Honorable mention and $1,500 prize goes to Megan Kyak-Monteith.”

Using six cultural heritage landscapes as examples, John deWolf (BDes 1992) will illustrate how interventions in the built and natural environment can be used to tell narratives of past and current day. From signage to branding, from interpretive panels to evocative elements in the landscape, there are many ways to communicate a history of place.

Using the Landscape of Grand Pr茅 as an example, John will look at brand assets (logos) and signage as a means to communicate culture and heritage for this living artifact. Our work for the Town of Lunenburg will investigate a question that faces so many heritage towns: how do you add anything to a community鈥攍ike signage, a modern necessity鈥攁nd respect the past while being relevant to the present? The town of Red Bay faced another challenge: how align expectation and experience. A visit to this town reveals very little of its five-century history, but does deliver a rugged outdoor experience. Our work for Batoche is an example of post-truth and reconciliation actions: using the land as a character to tell the story of a thriving M茅tis culture, while expanding upon the rebellion of the 19th century. Robinson Islands looks interpretation in the natural environment, exploring different approaches to text and panel interpretation. Finally, our work for Fort Needham Memorial Park explores ways to convey tragic events without the use of text and imagery, and instead through the use of evocative elements in the landscape.

泡芙短视频 has a unique research culture that we wish to bring to the fore. Research Day will showcase current and on-going projects by 泡芙短视频 faculty and collaborators. The event aims to inspire faculty members to undertake research initiatives, as well as excite interest among students to engage with faculty projects as research assistants and as future independent streams of research within their practice. 泡芙短视频’s faculty are innovators and collaborators partnering with colleagues at other institutions (nationally and internationally). This event will highlight that research does not happen in a vacuum, that cross-disciplinary voices have powerful standing in the outcomes of research initiatives.

The presentations are multi-disciplinary as there will be researchers from partner institutions presenting works that integrate elements of design, craft, and art within their research practices. Moreover, the event will culminate in an always entertaining PowerPoint Karaoke at 7 pm at 泡芙短视频鈥檚 Art Bar + Projects. 泡芙短视频鈥檚 Research Day is a platform for knowledge dissemination made possible through the generous support of the Research Support Fund (RSF), a tri-agency initiative of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).

The installations constructed in a space and place for all of us are virtual worlds they have rendered using gaming engine technology, which are then extracted into print form, encompassing the frame. In bringing these digital aesthetics to a physical space, they aim to create an environment that forces the viewer to question what is real and what is fabricated. By photographing them inside these worlds, Seamus wants to explore what it means for the body to interact with digital, otherworldly spaces.

The photography faculty which nominated Seamus said, 鈥淪eamus’s self portraits are technically accomplished and visually playful, which they skillfully contrast with cynicism and hopelessness. Their performative gestures, expressions and contortions challenge the conventions of portraiture, all within a background of childlike, hyper-cheeriness.”

Juror Mireille Bourgeois, and Artistic Director, IOTA, acknowledged the decision was difficult, but, 鈥淎s difficult as it was there was one student who stood out above the rest. This artist shows the most obvious promise, who is responding to the changes and challenges in their field and in contemporary art. It is the most sophisticated and fully-realized work that moves beyond the rest and this year.鈥�
