2012 BFA Show – Blink

Blink
BFA graduate catalogue 2012
Foreword
The title of this year’s BFA exhibition makes me think about time passing
from the present to the future. Once every five seconds the forward momentum
of time pauses as we blink. If we could control the reflex and slow it down, the
uncertainty of the moment would be revealed. In a split second we make a choice
to either focus on the recent past or leap into the unknown of the near future.
Over the past four years I have had the pleasure of working with many of
the students in this graduating class. They are ambitious, driven, funny and talented. Their studies have taught them to challenge themselves and take risks.
Recognizing that they make their best art in the ambiguous space between what
they know and what they haven’t discovered. These artistic creators don’t dwell
on the past; they are the alternative - constant inventors. The resulting exhibition
expresses time. Bink is a celebration of past knowledge, recent achievements and
the possibilities of the future.
