Artist Statement:
Excessive structure and
inflexibility are enemies of
creativity. I want to express
ideas in the purist form,
unfettered by censorship. I
develop my own techniques for
combining found objects,
photographs I took myself, and
elements of the unconscious.
I start with a primordial
object that holds some
interest or emotion...

Artwork Display by Janna Stern
Time: 6:30-9:00 p.m.
Location: Northwest Campus Auditorium
Janna Stern M.D. '68 will display her artwork in the Northwest Auditorium prior to the Women's Oratorical Contest. She will be present to answer questions and discuss her work. Janna Stern's dramatic images do more than simply capture the viewer's eye. They spark the human imagination and invigorate our senses. Her stark visuals serve as a unique artistic expression, which transcend the ordinary. Employing old guitars, mannequins, standard canvas and human forms as a backdrop to her stirring images, Stern has the uncanny ability to lead the observer into a realm of active participation within each of her pieces.

Santa Monica Artist Targets Eating Disorders
Santa Monica artist Janna Stern will show her series, "Measure for Measure: An Artistic Exploration on the Mythology of Eating Disorders" at Ventura College in Ventura, California.
The show marks the West Coast debut of the series, which attempts to promote awareness of and education about eating disorders. In it, Stern uses her experience in digital art to "articulate the forces at work in eating disorders."
According to "Eating Disorder Awareness and Prevention," five to ten million adolescent girls and women, and 1 million boys and men struggle with eating disorders and borderline conditions -- a sum total that triples the number of people living with AIDS in this the United States.
Ventura Galleries is located at 4667 Telegraph Road in Ventura. For information call (805) 648-0983.

“…..” While you’re there, be sure to take a look at Janna Stern’s series on eating disorders—so silently powerful, I doubt you’ll look at mannequins the same way again.
I know what you might be thinking—mannequins and eating disorders, multi-media artwork, female identity? But I assure you, this is a blessedly schlock-free zone. I even found the pieces light-hearted most of the time…..”
