|
Artist: Steve Lewin, John Seward, Melanie Seward and Jansen Sterba. Confronting Bodies: Board and director of the Charles B. Goddard Art Center Date of Action: October 2003 Specific Location: Ardmore, Oklahoma Description of Artwork: There were 80 prints in the exhibit, "4 Photographers, 4 Visions." Lewin's photos were described as "abstract in the purest sense." John Seward uses mirrors to distort nude human figures into abstract forms - this was the controversial work that led to the cancellation of the whole show. Melanie Seward uses a plastic camera called a Holga to create images of people in a natural setting. Jansen Sterba uses a Holga and an old 35mm camera to create distorted images of nature.
