In that way, it&#8217;s more about expressing your visions, ideas, and emotions, rather than reality itself. So I&#8217;m not a photographer. My sister is the real photographer. I use family photo albums and manipulate them. So I&#8217;m using photography to express my ideas, but they are not pictures I took.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q: What was it like to have your solo show in the Rude Gallery?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: It was a little stressful at first because there was one piece I was still finishing with this giant window with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/about-the-met\/collection-areas\/drawings-and-prints\/materials-and-techniques\/printmaking\/lithograph#:~:text=Lithography%20is%20a%20planographic%20printmaking,means%20of%20a%20chemical%20reaction.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lithography<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> printed onto the window panes. It came down to crunch time before the show opened, but the final product turned out great and I&#8217;m very proud of that piece. I included a couple of pieces I wasn&#8217;t sure would fit into the exhibition. However, after working with the gallery team who were very helpful, I felt a lot more confident about the collection when the show went up. This is only my second ever solo exhibition, after the show I had at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thenic.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nicolaysen Art Museum<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Wyoming.

I have made these a big part of my work. When I go through the photos, I try to find the ones that bring me the strongest emotions whether that is joy or sadness. The goal of my show is to restore memories lost to trauma. I lost my mother when I was very young, so my childhood memories are very few and far between. I used these family photos to piece together memories that I no longer have. That\u2019s what I\u2019m trying to provoke in others, showing how loss can reshape memories and influence the way you feel about them. So while it is a visual diary of my childhood, I want the show to speak to others about their memories and their loss.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q: What did you learn from the exhibition process?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: I learned that making a cohesive body of work is really important to me. The themes of memory and time run through all of my work. No matter what medium I create with, I&#8217;m still using those same ideas to unify my work. My main goal was just to create a well-rounded show that utilized different mediums. It was a challenge to showcase my work cohesively but I think the ideas behind the pieces tied them together. While hanging the show, I realized I like a lot of room around my pieces. That way you can really take it in each piece without it getting visually overwhelmed. I enjoyed using the space of the traditional white gallery walls to emphasize the important ideas in my work.<\/span><\/p><figure id=\"attachment_85087\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-85087\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-85087\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DSC03723-1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"In My life by Charla Ann.\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DSC03723-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DSC03723-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DSC03723-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DSC03723-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DSC03723-1-2048x1153.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-85087\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In My life by Charla Ann.<\/figcaption><\/figure><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q: How else do you share your art?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: I&#8217;ve always been an artist, but after the pandemic, I felt unsure about myself and what I was doing. I think a lot of people felt that way. That&#8217;s a big reason why I decided to go to school so that I could find my voice as an artist. I wanted to create art that would start my career and get my name out there. I would post on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/charla.ann\/?hl=en\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> almost every day, but I found myself creating things that I thought other people would like, instead of focusing on what I wanted to create. I learned that it\u2019s a difficult balance. Now, I put a lot of work into social media and my <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.charlaannart.com\/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaYnLkVQxzpuU-8_coSliCNh_3roqSCJnsrY-g7PMLUO1olzoIY6ZiYtdeo_aem_pOQra1hrBkbF5Oqsd9SD4w\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> but I also don\u2019t let it monopolize my time. I post what I want when I want. I&#8217;m not trying to keep up with the algorithm. I think that building an online following is important but also to be true to yourself.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q: What is your goal as an artist after graduation?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: My dream job is an exhibitions curator.

Now, I currently work at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.denverartmuseum.org\/en?gad_source=1&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwveK4BhD4ARIsAKy6pMJzziUevb23RJ2amJOtZ__nOEhwi0r_Hkusl0_CzTc66xl4bwJfAw4aAp9FEALw_wcB\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Denver Art Museum<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. I\u2019ve done a lot of different things, like help set up shows, and promote exhibitions on social media. After I graduate, I&#8217;d like to continue on that path.

It takes time to stage any art exhibit, but as Ann will tell you, the most important ingredient is authenticity. Whether it\u2019s her work in \u201cMnemosyne\u201d or the pieces she shares on social media, Ann is always true to herself. Only through building something so intimate has Ann been able to create something truly universal. However, she shares that \u201cbuilding that confidence came over time.\u201d Now, she can see that time not only inflicts pain but also prompts growth.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking to curate your future?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beginning a creative career is a lot like curating your own art exhibition<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
