Kaleidoscope Revisted by David Stichweh now on display at the UAC Indianola location
Kaleidoscope Revisited
The gift of a kaleidoscope early in my life started me on a visual fascination with pattern and design. In a kaleidoscope objects are multiplied by mirrored reflections creating wonderful patterns and shapes. In the photographs in this exhibition a single subject is flipped and “mirrored” multiple times producing unexpected visual patterns and relationships. Although abstract at first appearance, closer examination of the photograph reveals the subject that is mirrored and reflected. This mirroring method allows me to rekindle a way of seeing and composing that was sparked by that early gift of a kaleidoscope.

Menagerie of the Mundane
Jonathan Juravich and Friends, 2019
Jonathan Juravich and Friends now on display at the UAC Indianola location.
Several years ago, I began working with the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium by teaching summer art camps to teenagers. My work there is rooted in exposing these students to the importance of conservation. One of the activities we planned for the students was collaborating with four animals to create works of art. By meeting the animals face to face, the students see the animal as an individual and form a connection with them. After some time spent studying and experiencing one another, the student creates a painting based on the animal they have met. Our next step was based on a practice that zoos all over the world participate in, enrichment painting. By walking through paint and leaving marks on the canvas, the animal is engaging with different textures and temperatures. The students, who observe the efforts of their animal collaborators, then have the option to work back into their paintings afterward.
This year I considered my own role in sharing the importance of our conservation efforts. There is a need for us to act and support animals on the other side of the globe and right in our own backyard. I created these paintings that highlight mundane tasks that are a part of our human existence. Some of these activities we may enjoy, and others seem like futile efforts. And like us, these animals should have the opportunity to live long lives that are full of ordinary tasks. It is important that we have a sense of awareness about how our lives can have a global impact.

Not-So-Fearsome Critters
Jonathan Juravich with Josie Juravich
I have lived a life punctuated with experiences with trees and investigations into forests. Growing up in the woods of Western Pennsylvania, I became enamored with the different shapes, forms, and colors of the vegetation around me, as well as the adventures that could be had running along tree-covered trails.
I wanted to bring this fascination of the outdoors to my four-year-old daughter Josie. Together we have taken hikes, hugged trees in local metro parks, and began a series of collaborative works exploring the magic of the forest. One evening I started sharing with her stories from lumberjack folklore. These tales explored the Fearsome Critters, a group of magical animals that were said to have inhabited North American timberlands. These animals took on new life and personality as seen through the eyes of an enthusiastic four-year-old.
