Fall 2020 Artist Research Group

October 5, 2020

A grid of six photos, each photo is of an artist research fellow: iele has short brown curls and wears rectangular framed glasses, they are in a garden and are holding an orange flower in front of their nose with a squinting grin. Angie has layered dark brown locks stopping at the top of her shoulders, her brown eyes are piercing as she looks directly forward at the camera and she is wearing a blue shirt hanging slightly off of one shoulder. Jaamil has a cleanly shaven head and is standing leaning slightly back with the back of his head resting in his palm, his body and an unknown large structure next to him are draped in bronze metallic fabric as he stands in front of a bright red background. Alice is a light-skinned, multi-racial Black woman with blonde, copper, and red striped curly hair and gazes towards the camera. She wears a black shirt; her face rests in the palm of her face, her elbow sits on her thigh, and a gold necklace gleams at her neck. devynn has short cropped straight brown hair and has eyes cast down at the camera with a slightly furrowed brow and a small hoop ring hanging from their septum, they are wearing a straw brimmed hat with a striped string looped loosely under their chin. Larissa has her face in the left side of the frame only and she has dark brown curls framing her face and she wears bright red lipstick.
