Graduating Student: Matthew Gernt (S 21)

My process paper reflects on place, colonialism, observation, how we consume images, and how they act as avatars of ideology. My grad exhibition work touches on a lot of concepts stated above through moving image, sound, voice-over narration, still image, and text.

How did VCFA change your approach to thinking about your studio practice and your community at home?

I now see my work being part of an ongoing conversation. The program helped me to go deeper into a practice rooted in conceptual/theoretical discourse and engagement with social, political issues concerning society. I see a lot of these issues playing out in my own community. I feel I understand and know my community better. I see that I am an active participant within my community and my contribution matters.
