Opening Reception Friday, April 26th 6-9 PM
Double Take, this year’s senior art exhibition—featuring digital illustration, drawing, painting, ceramic sculpture, mixed media and more—further explores the themes and methodologies of the Fall 2023 senior art theses at Scripps College. The resulting artworks therefore comprise a double take: an opportunity to pause, look carefully, and observe what one might have missed at first glance.
The works on display, by ten artists, reflect diverse inspirations: critical investigations of contemporary environmental and social issues, introspective analyses of personal identities, and theoretical inquiries into the role of art in our existence. Each is its own experience, deserving of time and deliberation.
The exhibition invites viewers to consider their own double takes as they engage with the artworks. Much like the artists, who have revisited and ruminated upon their initial ideas to give them tangible form, visitors may look and then look again, investigating and contemplating the layers of meaning embedded within each piece.
Participating artists include senior art majors Sarah Teske, Ella Lehavi, Ella Skinner, Natasha Sethia, Dahlia Wang, Ruth Mueller, Nicole McDermott, Kendall Fosse, Avery White, and Izzy Kramer.
