Haley Jamieson’s ’16 friend Molly Egger is shown next to an image of a tree, each of the images mimicking the emotions of the other. This piece of photography was one of the original three pieces that Jamieson created, which inspired the rest of her photography project.

Haley Jamieson ’16 featured her photography in the downstairs gallery from Thursday, May 12, to Monday, May 16. Her photography reveals the parallels found in human emotion and in nature.

Jamieson's model lays on the ground underneath a photograph of the skyline. "It was a last-minute one I made. I think it works really well," Jamieson said.

Jamieson explains in her artist statement, which was emailed to the Archer community, “I originally started this project by wanting to draw connections between human emotion and natural lighting, specifically sunrise or sunset when the light is the most diverse.”

As she continued her project, however, her focus shifted to how humans are physically and emotionally mirrored in nature.

“For the majority of my images, I used the mood that I felt match the sky or lighting as a direction for my model. I then branched out into reflections of colors between just the images themselves, not necessarily a direct connection between portrait and landscape,” Jamieson said.

Jamieson’s older brother Nathan Jamieson said the photography exhibition “truly captures the diversity that is inherent in every human being.”

Cannon performs a line after getting upset with Alice during the tea party. The Mad Hatter then calmed down and joined the rest of the guests for the remainder of the scene. Stella Leland (‘26) played the knave and reflected on their favorite part of rehearsals. “What stands out a lot is always the first read-through of something. Whenever we do that at any production — some of us might have read this script beforehand — its the first time the show is seen with everyone,” Leland said. “Who they are, their characters and everything, and its the first time youre like, ‘Oh, I can tell whats going to happen now.’ Its just a nice moment.”

Annie Friedman (’24) and Malia Apor (’24) pose for a photo in front of the title wall for their Petals and Paths senior art show. Friedman and Apor are Advanced Study Ceramics students and chose to display pottery with themes of nature and family Wednesday, March 6. “I’m drawn to using one glaze called overglaze to make it more cohesive,” Friedman said. “I know Malia uses something called underglazing sometimes, and it’s cool that there’s multiple different ways.”

Mia Vosicher (25) walks Hollyn Alpert (28) through the Willy Wonka script. Vosicher originally applied to be a stage manager, but at the last minute, she applied to be assistant director. Encouraging the middle schoolers to take risks and really go outside of the thoughts of their character choices is whats going to make the show strong, Vosicher said.
