Theirs, along with many other students' work, was showcased at the 2021 Annual A Student Exhibition in the Pace University A Gallery, which you can view on the a gallery's website. We asked our student a ists to describe their piece and their inspiration for it. Here's what they said. Touch by Camryn Thayer '22, Communication Studies, A minor "This piece was inspired by, and based off, a photo I took of Park Güell in Barcelona. I was struck by the colors juxtaposing the hand and felt it would be successful if I reimagined it as a painting. Using acrylic paint, a medium I use o en, I tried to make the hand as realistic as possible, while focusing less on detail in the mosaic and more on texture, shape, and color. "This piece to me represents a desire to interact with the world and our surroundings through touch, which is of course something we haven't been able to do, or are more hesitant to do because of the pandemic."

I like to go back and pick old photographs from my childhood and repaint them, but make them more tender and light than they are photographed. I painted this image with water-based oil paint. I have used that medium once before in high school and decided to test the waters to see how it would come out now that I am older; and I actually enjoyed working with the oil and acrylic paint benefits that the medium has to offer. "For me, this piece evokes a feeling of home, peace, love, togetherness, and just being still. It means being able to push through even during difficult times to complete a task."
