| "Hitchin' a Ride", by Kaylee Bird, Spring 2009 |
|
|
"Hey mister, where you headed? Are you in a hurry? Need
a lift to happy hour. Say oh no. Do you brake for
distilled spirits? I need a break as well...Troubled times, you know I can not lie. I'm off
the wagon and I'm hitchin' a ride." -contributed by Kaylee Byrd
| "Seder" By Jake Benjamin Levy, Spring 2009 |
|
|
"This is a photo from our Passover Seder.
My father is reading while I do an impression
of the character described. It represents a still
photo from a very theatrical "real
life" event."
| "Mason" by Ash Fisher, Spring 2009 |
|
|
"This is Mason, the 2-year-old I have been babysitting for a year. This portrait captures the carefree exuberance
only a toddler has, which will fade and fade with each passing year of his life." -Ash Fisher
| "Captain", by Andrew D'Agostino, Spring 2009 |
|
|
"O Captain my Captain! our fearful trip is
done, The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near,
the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
But
O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead."
-Walt Whitman

| "Ed", by Samy Burch, Spring 2009 |
|
|
"This is my next door neighbor. His name is Ed. He is not a drag queen, but a fireman. He asked me to
dress him up like a woman so he could go to a leather party with a college girl. He has two kids, an ex-wife, and a golden
retriever. He drives an awfully big truck." -Samy Burch
| "Temple of Dendur", by Sarah Wharton, Spring 2009 |
|
|
"I took this picture in the Temple
of Dendur at the Met. My faint reflection in the photograph mirrors how small I feel sometimes when surrounded by such
incredible displays of civilization (not just in the Museum, but in New York in general) and also how I cannot help but be
a part it." -Sarah Wharton
| "My Sister", by Chloe Domont, Spring 2009 |
|
|
"This is a portrait of my sister. I wanted it to encompass the opposing perceptions of how she
is viewed by other people verses how she sees herself." - Chloe Domont
| "Jon", by Karina Gonzalez, Spring 2009 |
|
|
"Few
things can come between this man and his guitar, even the girl who inspires his songs.
It's a daily reminder of his past and a path towards his future.
No portrait of him is complete without it."
-Karina I. Gonzalez
| "Lily and Me", by Emma Morrison-Cohen, Spring 2009 |
|
|
| "Kat", by Lia Evon, Spring 2009 |
|
|
"This
girl was my roommate freshman year who, on the weekends, always slept until about 4 pm. I caught her in her most sleepy
and vulnerable state, which I think accurately shows how she lives on the weekends." - Kristen Garris
| "Freshman Roommate", by Kristen Garris |
|
|
| "Untitled", by Jennifer Noble, Spring 2009 |
|
|
"Everyone believes
very easily whatever he fears or desires." — Jean de La Fontaine (contributed by Jennifer Noble)
PAINTING & DRAWING GALLERY
"This is a miniature self-portrait. It touches on my tendency towards black and white
thinking, especially within right vs left brain activity, and also plays with light. I call it "mirror image"
because I sketched it off a hand mirror I was holding under my face. In terms of iconography, the result of holding
the mirror under my face was that it looks like a mix between me and Michael Jackson." -John Zurek
| "Me- Gardenhood", by Sam Dash, Spring,2009 |
|
| "I'm Crazy!", by Ryan Key, Spring 2009 |
|
|
| "My Osama", by Joshua Sachs, Spring 2009 |
|
|
| "Lauren Dance", by Hannah McGinley, Spring 2009 |
|
|
"Dancing through life- mindless and careless Make sure you're where less trouble is rife
Woes
are fleeting, blows are glancing
When you're dancing through life..." -Wicked
(-Hannah McGinley)
"I chose collage
as my medium and decided to create a portrait of my brother. I began to assemble photos of him. Once I had enough I realized
that every single one of them had something to do with fishing, surfing, or the water in general. That was when it hit me:
My brother is a fish. " -DL Tashjian
| "My Brother", DL Tashjian, Spring 2009 |
|
|
"This is a portrait
of my mother. She stashes legal pads with her innermost thoughts all over our house, especially the laundry room, since
my father left." - B.M.
| "L.E.L", by B.M., Spring 2009 |
|
|
| "Mom in a Polaroid" by Jenna Wexler, Spring 2009 |
|
|
"This
painting is based off of a polaroid of my mother when she was just about my age. Sunset, beauty, youth, and
the polaroid itself all allude to time and brevity. My mother is just as beautiful today, and possess a youthful
spirit I hope to hold onto myself." -Jenna Wexler
| "Mom", by Mark Berger, Spring 2009 |
|
|
| "Enough", by Brad Giovanine, Spring 2009 |
|
|
| "Spring Cleaning", by Ali Stroker, Spring 2009 |
|
"It's time to do spring cleaning. I chose to use the
items in my wallet as a medium for a self portrait. I am about to graduate and my identity and everything I've ever
known is about to be flipped upside down. Time to clean out old I.D.s from my wallet, and NYU materials from my room.
I am going from student to adult and my wallet is the just the first change in my new life!" -Ali Stroker
| "Mom", by Farrah Brooke, Spring 2009 |
|
|
This
is a portrait of my mother from my point of view. This is not the way she would probably see herself, but it is a portrait
of a mother from the eyes of a daughter. I found it interesting to make a portrait of what I (the daughter) think represents
my mom’s life.
A mother is:
Mom to me
Fu
to dad
Mommy to sisters
Sue to parents
Susanne to friends
Susanne to colleagues
I
see her as this
She sees herself as that
I wonder what she thinks my life is about
-Farrah Brooke
| "My Best Friend", by Emma Koenig, Spring 2009 |
|
This
is a portrait of one of best friends. It illustrates a blend of literal and figurative interpretations I have of his body and mind. It is how I see him in the most empirical way" - Emma Koenig
POETRY & PROSE
"This
is a poem about my best friend back in Chicago. It's a portrait of a couple years in our life. I don't want to ruin the mystery of it all.'Nuff said." -Mike Barron
From
the Fireside by mike barron
Sometimes
I’d steer us down and back, We’d speed on lake Travel west on north Perhaps We’d travel (in silence)-
Examining billboards, the sails on the avenues, pondering
our fate.
Sometimes We would be home: A building much too large for us A neighborhood we didn’t belong.
“It doesn’t look like much…” we’d explain.
“You should see it later tonight.” But this is where we’d
live.
We’d take a seat Among the sweat,
The dirt and grime that ten years of loud guitars could
bring. We’d sit and smoke, And examine the damage
that ten years of beer ten years of cigarettes, tattoos
and boots could bring.
These were pins you could not
lose- Nights unforgotten. And now I sit and smoke…
and stare and think that those two years were
the best that life could bring
"I only call her by her full name. She speaks without words and could swear there
are dinosaurs on her street (which are really just heavy machinery).
She is my sense of humor, especially when we yell at teenagers from my car." -Brad Giovanine
