Artist Statement

Hodgepodge will feature the photographic stylings of Alicia Archuleta and some of her Kenwood High School students.  Alicia says of her own work, “As an artist I have a tendency to focus on things in the everyday world, with  hopes that I may show someone a different way of viewing them. I believe that even the most simple items have an untapped beauty.”   Under the instruction of Archuleta, the students have been encouraged to explore their talents and pull together a show.  The students chose the title “Song of Sight: The Songs in Our Heads” as the inspiration for their work and titles. Their raw talent is amazing to look at as they continue to try different digital techniques and shooting styles to find their full visual voice.
