    Ceragami
    (2016) Patel, Mona; Jefferson, Corey; Baker, Lesley; Giddings, Anita
    Ceramics is one of the oldest mediums of creating works of art over the past centuries; however there has been a significant improvement and advancements towards creating different forms with it. I intend to capture the outcomes of the interdependent qualities of these materials. As the work is a combination of ceramics and Origami, I originated the term 'Ceragami'.

    The Land of Milk and Honey
    (2021-05) Roberts, Jessica 'Leia'; Misluk, Eileen; Petranek, Stefan; Riede, Danielle
    My body of work serves as a form of therapy for me and provides insight into the often-misunderstood world of mental illnesses. A personal struggle is with Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders [OSFED] has informed the pieces discussed below. OSFED is the term utilized to include individuals who do not meet the strict guidelines for anorexia or bulimia nervosa but still have a substantial eating disorder (“Other Specified Feeding”). With this in mind, my practice explores a personal experience with eating disorders. Eating disorders are medically recognized mental disorders and have the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric illness. National surveys estimate that 12% of women and 6% of men in America will develop an eating disorder within their lifetime (“What Are Eating”). It should be recognized that eating disorders can affect anyone, at any age. As an artist, I strive to make work that provides the viewer with a deeper understanding of the mind of someone with an eating disorder.
