Our video installation consists of three screens overlayed with silk screen prints or print cut-outs of rice paper and transparent mylar. What we are attempting to do is to combine two totally different media that complements each other while at the same time takes advantage of the juxtaposition of older more traditional media with the more modern digital media. Members of our group included printmaking students Orin Orth and Keenan Grimes, and digital media students Javier Vega, Jonathan Pike, and Trey Fleenor.














































Printmaking students Katherine Timaeus and Natalie Rodriguez worked with digital media students Kat Goins, Bear Mossbarger, and Heather Warren on an installation of sea creatures.

Our window presents an underwater scene, where the sea creatures are screen printed in bright colors on bright paper to achieve a whimsical look. The animals hang from the ceiling using fishing line. In the corner hides a bright pink octopus, a "mother" of sorts to this project. A shiny, large black egg in the corner shows a process video of how the prints were made. The project is meant to be "birthed" out of the egg, with the mother watching.






































































































Stephen F. Austin State University students Emily Grogan (BFA Printmaking), Maria Alvarado (BFA Printmaking), Kim Gless (BFA Digital Media and Photography), Charles Roberds (BFA Digital Media), and Morgan Rogers (BFA Digital Media) combined printmaking and digital media in their collaborative installation. In a juxtaposition of traditional and contemporary, the space portrays their interpretation of the evolution of women’s role in society and the home.
