"I strapped an accordion fold book to my
stomach, so that when it was opened it
looked as if my guts were spilling from the
book. I took specific time and effort to make
the guts look anatomically accurate when
the book is worn."

"My grandfather owned a baggage store
so handbags are sentimental to my family.
I made a purse that opened like a book and
inside there are several pages illustrated
with the bags my mom had during my
childhood. One of her bags was made of
ostrich skin, so I also embossed the paper
to give that texture and look."
Artist: Nikolette Sciancalepore '22
"My piece is titled 'Bloom,' and gives the
effect of a blossoming flower. It brings
attention to human development and
reflects how I've grown as a person. I used
the summer reading book from my freshman
year at TCNJ. Now I am a senior, so this
particular book felt very meaningful to me
while also strengthening my concept."
