Where is American art in the new millennium? At the heart of all cultural developments is diversity. Access through recent technology engenders interaction with artists from around the world. The visual arts in the United States are bold and pulsating with new ideas.
Shannon Crider
"Shannon Crider uses found paper to create intricate figurative collages. Based on original photographs of subjects, real and imagined, she captures their humanity with thoughtful calculation. Formally trained as a painter, she transitioned to paper as a means of challenging the application of color, shadow, and texture. Inspired by the Greek play Antigone, Shannon Crider creates a series honoring the timeless Sophocles story. Through the work, Crider investigates heroism, family values, politics, and death in correlation to the body, matter, and stars."--French & Michigan.
