The Unforgiving Work of Surprise
Jordan Snow BFA ’22 doesn’t think before chiseling. And he doesn’t dwell on the results. “That surprise is what I am looking for,” he says. “If I do knock something off, or if I do get frustrated with the stone and take my hammer to the head of a dude and it turns into something else, my work, it kind of lends itself to that.” Snow direct carves marble and his pieces can have a rough, even unfinished effect. “Catching the movement is almost more important to me than having a so-called academic finished project,” Snow explains. “I do reject the idea that something has to be polished to be finished.”

Hook Them With Humor
Established in 1985, the Guerrilla Girls are anonymous artist activists who, according to their mission statement, “use disruptive headlines, outrageous visuals and killer statistics to expose gender and ethnic bias and corruption in art, film, politics and pop culture.”
Each member claims anonymity and goes by a pseudonym of a dead female artist. The group believes in “an intersectional feminism that fights for human rights for all people.”
USU Interior Architecture & Design is currently ranked 8th in the top 20 Interior Design Schools
A career in interior design can be a fruitful one. Fulfilling those goals, however, will mean getting an education that can make that happen.
