SPE...

Walking around the tables at the curator review, the work of the two following women artists caugh my eye:

Toni Pepe, an MFA student from Rochester Institue of Technology, and Jane Tam, a BFA student from Syracuse.

Pepe's work interested me because of her setups of space, using wallpaper and dramatic light...they do seem a little too much inclined towards fashion (I saw her Angle of Repose series), but I could use some help with the setup of the space in my own images.

Tam's work seemed to me to have lot in common with the work I was doing last semester, with old family photographs. I spoke to her briefly as I looked through her project Can I Come Home With You? and she said she was using photographs of her "Family" series, and adding her own drawings of old family photos...this is something I briefly tried but abandoned, I wasn't happy with my results, but hers look ok .
