Winter/Spring 2012
The Art of Lambert House
Shannon Leahy is an Art Therapy student (Couples & Family Specialization), and an M.A. candidate finishing her final project here at Antioch. She has been interning at Lambert House, and her Master's Project has come out of the work she's done with gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning youth there, ages 14-22. Lambert House empowers youth through the development of leadership, social and life skills; the powerful stories told through their art has been graciously shared on the walls of the second floor atrium / hallway.
Rachel Blum Cantone
Also in the upstairs atrium, Antioch is pleased to present Textures I-V, 2005-2006,
Artists proofs of viscosity photo-etchings by MA Psychology Alumni Rachel Blum Cantone.
Of the series Rachel writes "These images began as photographs of the dirty, worn, and warped fabric of
New York City—such as grime on subway wall tiles and blistered pavement in
a crosswalk—and were developed under the mentorship of Elaine Breiger at
School of Visual Arts in New York, NY.
I was introduced to printmaking as a teenager at the Women’s Studio Workshop
in Rosendale, NY and have continued to print under the guidance of the faculty
and staff of the following Printmaking programs/studios: Pratt Institute in
Brooklyn, NY, School of Visual Arts in New York, NY and Pratt Fine Art Center
in Seattle, WA."
Patrick Dougherty
The library is pleased to share a new work, Fire Snake over Sea Dragons (2011) by Patrick Dougherty, Mental Health Counseling student & Library staff. Of the piece Patrick writes "Lately, my preferred canvases are secondhand, makeshift objects such as discarded cabinet doors. I was helping my roommate clean out his garage and he said to give this Carrom board to Goodwill. Instead, I decided it had a nice "framely" shape to it, and it became the beginning of my next art project."
Reminder: the student lounge area is available for students to exhibit their class projects and senior or master's thesis projects.
