Department of Art Fine Art major in Painting, Molly Howell
was recently accepted as a runner-up into Creative Quarterly: The journal of
Art & Design for her photographic series that was created in Assistant
Professor Dominic Lippillo’s Photography Survey course. Molly’s photography
will be posted on the Creative Quarterly website on the Online Gallery in
Summer2014. “Molly’s images are visually intriguing and raise relevant
questions about the economy. This series has potential to become an ongoing
body of work that I hope she continues exploring.” Says Assistant Professor
Dominic Lippillo.
“Basically, the concept has to do with my experience with
the housing market crash in 2008. My father builds houses, and because of the
crash, we went through a lot of struggles as a family. This series and others
are my way of exploring those feelings. “ States Molly. The images are
haunting landscapes with a simple childlike house sewn into the photography
using gold thread. “It is a very clever approach for creating the imagery and
conveying the concept.” Says Professor Marita Gootee who is the Area
Coordinator of Photography.
“Creative Quarterly is a very
competitive magazine and has a respected online gallery. It is very impressive
that Molly has received this level of recognition. Molly was the only entry
from Mississippi State to be selected for the online or published Creative
Quarterly Issue 35” States Professor Gootee.
