Special Collections puts perspective on campaigns

Augustana's Special Collections has an extensive collection of campaign memorabilia thanks to William Edmondson '49, who shopped in bookstores and at yard sales. He purchased buttons, hats and ties, and collected items which tell the story of presidential politics going as far back to the days of Teddy Roosevelt.

Syd Yontez

Syd Yontez

Syd Yontez is a senior from Highland Park, Ill., majoring in fine arts, philosophy and graphic design.

"Lots of art is accompanied by cute n’ crude sets of words aimed to summarize meaning and purpose, a route ironically bypassing the real meat of the work itself. My intention, if an artist’s input should even be counted, is to invite, not to explain. Boredom, after all, like curiosity, only dances when there is nothing ready-made to satisfy it."

Bella Wright is a senior from Rock Island, Ill., majoring in art history and minoring in studio art.

"A large portion of this paper will be dedicated to graffiti artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, as well as other mixed media and artists. I am going to form a timeline using art to call attention to the deep rooted history of police brutality in America. I also want to include a personal aspect to this project, so I was considering interviewing members of my family about their experiences being a person of color in America."

Enrique Tuason is a senior from Plano, Ill., majoring in graphic design and communication studies.

"I have always loved the tangibility of things. I love the feeling of having something physical in my hands. I find I appreciate things more when they are right in front of me. This is why I love playing cards. Cards have always captivated me, whether they be trading cards or tarot cards. I have been collecting decks of cards for as long as I can remember. Every deck I have in my collection is unique and special to me."

Tyler Troesch is a senior from Chicago, Ill., majoring in graphic design and art.

"These designs are meant to be printed on t-shirts, as I strive to create the kind of graphic quality you would see on such media in my own work. As an artist one of my biggest struggles has always been creating work that I can genuinely feel proud of, but these pieces allowed me enough creative freedom to forget about that and simply create what I wanted to create."

India Torres

India Torres

India Torres is a senior from San Diego, Calif., majoring in studio art.

"As long as I can remember, I have loved the study of light in art. Everyone experiences light literally or emotionally when you feel happy or content. However, with most things there is an opposite to light. Shadows or dark emotions are often close behind. My work commonly displays aspects of stark contrast between dark and light, and I continue on this path with my Senior Inquiry."

"Within a digitally framed medium, I push to give expressive form to the inner voices that emerge from the depths of mental illness. These works serve as both a voice to my personal journey of thoughts and feelings as well as the experiences of my loved ones who have faced mental health challenges."
