Sandy Skoglund

Sandy was born in Quincy, Massachusetts on September 11, 1946. She study art history ande studio art at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts graduating in 1968. In 1967 she studied art history at Sorbonne and Ecole Du Louvre in Paris, France. She then went to the University of Iowa in 1969 where she studied filmaking, miltimedia art and printmaking. In 1971 she earned a Masters of Arts and in 1972 Master of Fine Art in painting. After this is when she began her interest in photography, she began teaching herself photography to show her artistic endeavors, she had experimented with themes of repetition. In 1978 she had produced a series of repetitious food item still life. One of her most famous photographs is entitled Radioative Cats fetures green-painted clay cats running amok in a gray kitchen. It takes her months to set up a set and then she photographes them. She is currently a proffesor at Rutgers University in New Jersey. She teaches photography, art installation/meltimedia.

    I think her images are very odd. I personaly don’t like images that are over the top altered in photoshop, but her images are really net when you think about the fact the she built her sets her self (sometimes out of clay). I think she is very talented in both areas art and photography.
