Personal Opinion on the Artwork: Ideas, Content, Materials Used, Presentation?
I loved Yhonnie Scarce's work the most. The glass jars with the inkjet prints were so differently that I was immediately drawn to them. The black & white effects on the photos also made them seem very nostalgic and treasured.

My favourite piece was the beetroot head. It was crazy to see such an ordinary part of life become art. I thought it was especially creepy looking and fit into the horror theme exceptionally.

I loved the ink on paper piece by Jimmy Twin. It pulled at my heartstrings to see a little Batman at the grave of his parents. The black & white nature of the ink also added a nostalgic effect on the piece.

The thing I loved most about this exhibition was the use of pastel colours. It really drew my attention when I first walked in and I was compelled to look at each photograph in the series. I actually didn't realise they were mutilated photographs until I read the artist statements later on, which I thought was pretty neat.

I love the different kind of photography that Grace exemplifies. The green blobs in her artwork are very subtle but yet striking at the same time.
