2008: Angela Speece Monday, September 28, 2009
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 CollaborationExploring 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.

2007: Sarah Jones Monday, September 28, 2009
Sarah Jones' (Bartlett Fund) work centers on family house she visited in Memphis, Tennessee. The original intellectual and artistic impetus for focusing on this specific house came from the many and varied wallpaper patterns in its rooms. Sigmund Freud used pattern to incite a kind of hypnosis in his patients and spur recollections from the unconscious. I began to think that I was using pattern in much the same way that Freud did, except that I was my own patient.
