Generation X lost in martyrdom exhibited by WSU art student iy Sara Hoellein ignpost A&E writer Many artists use a theme aroughout their art work to 3flect what is inside them-ilves, a representation o'f who ley are. Noel Peterson, a Weber State niversity senior majoring in rt, goes beyond herself to por-ay an entire generation, Gen-ration X. "We are a lazy generation ill of pain caused by our-;lves a generation of self-lade martyrs," Peterson said. Peterson has created a sees of paintings she believes epresent Generation X. The aintings include images of rug abuse, self destruction, eolation and anxiety. "Expression in art is por-rayed through color and hape," Peterson said. "The olors I have used are strong, ley make you feel what is in ie painting." Peterson also incorporates ne human form into every art iece. Because she is interested in the way people are," Peterson as found human psychology an emotional part of art. "I like to observe people, go beyond the obvious to see what they are feeling," Peterson said. "I want to be able to portray that feeling to others." Another Generation X piece Peterson has developed is a metal picture, symbolic of what she believes to be Generation X. The piece includes a copper background connected to two dog tags, which represent industrialization and a generation of commercialism. Also bordering the piece is different stones and buttons which surround a door in the center. This door represents "a way out." Peterson describes Generation X to be entwined in themselves, but able to escape if they let themselves. "You will stay lost forever if you don't. Entwined in yourself, you will die in misery," Peterson said. The human form incorporated into the piece is a small figure connected just beyond the center door. The feeling portrayed through the figure's facial expression is pain. Peterson included a state ment inscribed along the side of the piece, describing her ideas of Generation X. "Generation X lost in martyrdom cradling our pain unwilling to heal addicted to vomit and needles and black..." Peterson began art at the age of three. Her grandparents owned an art gallery in Minnesota, which she would visit as a child. Growing up around art, Peterson has always believed herself to be an artist. "I am still learning," Peterson said. "But I have always been an artist in my heart." Peterson has also found spirituality through her art. She believes you can have spirituality without religion. A statement which helps describe her belief is, "God gives us our dreams; he can accomplish them for us." Peterson's work has been displayed at the WSU student art shows and also at Grounds for Coffee. i i in 1 , fim fWwwfeff, ty John Qnstos, priawffiel, 17.99, Young to otopWS tsijg twsflctai seam. t itvmhme 0 Ct&n. by 0j &iwsft.
