Art Show: Week 2

The art show that I attended this week was located at Pollock Theater. The artist that came was Dr. Patricia MacCormack. She currently works at Anglia University in the UK. Her work mainly focuses on expressing lesbian and gay work. The first pieces of work that she presented were about the idea of Mucosal Monsters. This topic was really interesting because she talked about how society has their view on a monster and what it must look like. She showed various photos of monsters and some from videos. She talked about a movie in which a girl made love to a monster. This shows that the girl didn’t care about what is on the outside, but that the true feelings are what matter. Dr. Patricia MacCormack went on to show more slides about monsters. When the art show came to a conclusion, questions were asked. One that stood out to me was that if she made art work of her own. She said yes and also mentioned that she has book which indicates she is also a writer. From this art show, I learned about how society has their views on monsters and what they must look like in order to fall under that category.
