Ethan Jackson & Scott Johnson






































If you haven’t already, you all need to check out the new work up on all the gallery spaces. Julie Puma’s Early Onset is in the upstairs Rude Gallery, and Ethan Jackson & Scott Johnson’s Light Drift is in both the Philip J Steele Gallery and the Rotunda.

We will be having an interview with Julie Puma about her show.

The show I’ve personally become obsessed with is the Camera Obscura in the Rotunda. Maybe it’s a little biased that I, as a Photo Major, would love the camera related show but… have you seen it? It’s so beautiful. These guys did a great job in bringing in the atmosphere that the JCRS patients would’ve seen from the room. You get to experience what it was like in their shoes, for what was possibly their last few months of life.



On the night of the opening Ian Cooke filled the room with the sounds of cello and voice. The music aspect really helped bring the show together. If you do get a chance to see the show, have someone come that knows how to play the piano. You’ll see what we mean.

There was one chair in the middle of the room. When you sit in it you can allow yourself to experience what the patients experience. I had a hard time with this.



After the sun set, the eeriness I have felt on this campus before came through.  Knowing the background of the school and what has happened, what these people suffered through in this building and on this site in general. What happens for them when the sun disappeared? One can get lost in the beauty of our campus, what happened every night when it was no longer visible? I didn’t believe I could handle the true emotions that followed those thoughts so when I decided to finally leave the room. Those patients were strong human beings.

I don’t want to ruin the magic entirely… that said, you should all check out this show. Highly recommended.

and please check out Ian Cooke’s music.
