乐播传媒 in Brief World: Photographs from the 2012 Barlow Off-Campus Exhibit
View to a Kiln
Catherine Elliott 鈥�12 is a ceramicist who creates bowls that are both beautiful and usable. She forms her vessels on a kick wheel, one at a time.
A double major in studio art and politics, Elliott witnessed different approaches to ceramics work during the winter of 2011, when she lived and worked with an organization of potters in China. Case in point: The 鈥淒ragon Kiln,鈥� a giant installation that she photographed on a hill just outside of Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital of China.
The 鈥淒ragon Kiln鈥� is a giant installation that Catherine Elliott ’12 photographed on a hill just outside of Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital of China.
Elliott鈥檚 photograph above, as well as the two below, were included in the 2012 Barlow Off-Campus Study Photography Exhibition. This photo also depicts the kiln鈥檚 tenders, who, she explains, 鈥渟pend hours crouched at the side of the kiln, feeding the flames.鈥� (Perhaps the proximity to the heat has something to do with their choice of watermelon as refreshment.)
Winning Smile
The child nearest photographer Jenna Burke 鈥�13 in the photo is Emmanuel 鈥� 鈥渁 favorite of mine and a star on the soccer field,鈥� says Burke, who met Emmanuel and his playmates during her stay in Rhotia, Tanzania, with a fall 2011 School for Field Studies program that also took her to Kenya.

The program incorporated community service that entailed frequent sessions volunteering in primary schools. The sessions weren鈥檛 all work, as the visitors often went
鈥渏ust to play with the kids,鈥� Burke says.
Keyless Entry
Visiting Paris during the winter 2011 semester under the auspices of the Center for University Programs Abroad, photographer Olivia DaDalt 鈥�12 was captivated by this scene (below).
Olivia DaDalt 鈥�12 photographed this scene at the Pont de l鈥橝rchev锚ch茅, one of at least three Parisian bridges where romantic couples like to attach so-called love locks.
The Pont de l鈥橝rchev锚ch茅 is one of at least three Parisian bridges where romantic couples like to attach so-called love locks, or love padlocks, to symbolize their undying love. Writing their names on the locks, the lovers fix them to the bridge fencing and toss the keys into the Seine. (Perhaps more jaded couples favor combination locks.) In the background of DaDalt鈥檚 image is Notre Dame Cathedral.
