Angela Speece (Bartlett Fund) traveled to New Orleans to present a paper on her studio work and research at the Southeastern College Art Conference (SECAC), September 24-27, 2008. Her presentation titled "Blind Collaboration— Exploring the Child Within" focuses on her artistic process with children. Angela's compositions provoke contemplation and debate about who actually created the work. By merging children's nave artistic characteristics with her own trained experience, the child and adult coincide in an interchangeable and ambiguous dialogue. This collaborative practice brings into question set assumptions about the art of children and art itself.
