Juror Andrea Olmstead, assistant professor of art in ceramics, sculpture, and drawing at Fitchburg State University, awarded five prize winners and four honorable mentions. Danny Goodman \u201928 and Ilana Londry \u201926 are among the prize winners and Carter Peterson \u201926 received an honorable mention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goodman had three works in the show and placed for \u201cTriumph From Days Gone By,\u201d a drawing of a baseball trophy made with colored pencil on Bristol paper. A pitcher on Clark\u2019s baseball team, Goodman says he\u2019s discovered a fusion between athletics and artistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaving the ability to express my athletics history and love for baseball in physical, artistic form is a superpower I’ve been blessed to have,\u201d says Goodman. Seeing this work awarded felt full circle. \u201cIn my writer’s statement for this piece in the show, I mentioned how the trophy that once was a triumphant award is now just collecting dust in a box with more trophies, each almost the exact same as the next. Now, this piece has given me an award much more memorable than a piece of plastic stating I’m a champion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Two,” graphite by Ilana Londry ’26 <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Londry placed for \u201cTwo,\u201d made with graphite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis piece depicts two people. I don’t know what their relationship is, but they are connected in some way. For me, this drawing evokes a mixture of emotions regarding the strange experience of connecting with and knowing another person,” says Londry. “A lot of emotional inspiration came from music I repeatedly listened to while developing the design and concept. It means a lot having my art recognized by someone outside of my personal life and motivates me greatly to continue to push myself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peterson earned an honorable mention for \u201cProtect Trans Kids,\u201d acrylic on canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This piece was made as a series that explores self-identity and human connection. This painting specifically deals with how many groups of people are vilified and targeted by today’s political climate. I wanted this work to both reflect the dangerous label that’s been tacked onto so many without reason, while also finding power in the strength to resist,” says Peterson. “Although trans people are not the only ones who\u00a0this work applies to, I wanted to title this piece ‘Protect Trans Kids’ as a way for the work itself to demand action.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
