IMAGES BY THE ART FACULTY
The newest member of the art faculty, Assistant
Professor Ann McDonald, arrived at N.U. last September to teach in the
new multimedia studies program. This montage is created from two of her
recent works: a projected message, "as soon as I say it is real it
vanishes," that concerns the evanescence of light; and a "lenticular"
animation from an exhibit on women's health. But the original designs are
moving images; this montage only approximates the experience of viewing
them-thereby illustrating McDonald's interest in the ephemeral nature of
images. McDonald holds a master's in fine arts from Yale University and
is working on a second master's from Yale in environmental design.
