The works that students created in Jim Butler’s fall class Landscape Re-Imagined: Painting, Drawing, Photography, and Glass are large-scale images of our campus, presented in new and surprising ways.  Students interact artistically with Middlebury’s natural and built environment while studying the rich history of how humans have depicted landscape.  Their results exploit all the fluidly colorful possibilities of pigment to reimagine our everyday world.

Sharon Butler at Two Coats of Paint says that Coates “vivifies extreme close-ups of ordinary but unhealthy food like corned beef sandwiches, mac ‘n’ cheese, and candy bars with expressive, endearingly awkward paint handling. … Her work evokes our often irrepressible embrace of bad food: we eat it because it tastes so good, and then hate ourselves for doing so. Why does food have so much power over us?”
