Blue Oyster 'Grad Show' review

There were two artists' works that stood out for me. Aroha Novaks work exposed the violence and destruction of war. For Site she used a lovely pink rocket ship which gave some sort of hope or at least escape from war and this was not on show at the Blue Oyster. Still a powerful work though.

The other work that impressed me was by Alissia Holzer. Being in the lower gallery it was like coming into the calm after the storm! Clean and fresh - finely detailed using an air brush technique I believe. Again on show at Site, I thought the lighting she used there gave the work a more delicate purity which enhanced the overall effect.
