'Mixed Nuts' displays the best student art photography work of the quarter

A pair of legs covered in dripping wax sits atop a pile of charcoal. A row of cyanotype photographs hangs on one wall. Another wall sports photographs catching people in public displays of affection.

These are a few of the many displays currently featured in Western’s B Gallery – located in the Fine Arts Building – as part of an exhibit titled “Mixed Nuts: A tasty blend of photography and mixed media.” The featured artists are all students in an advanced photo seminar class.

Art professor Garth Amundson says the gallery display is not all of the works students have produced, but the best of what they have done this quarter. The students were also required to create blog posts that further explored their projects.

Amundson describes the exhibit as “a mix of everything,” and indeed the projects showcase a wide variety of skills, techniques and perspectives employed by the students in their artistic endeavors.

The exhibit runs through this Thursday, March 16, and will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day until then.
