The Bennett Gallery exhibit features minimalist and maximalist pieces from the Advanced Photography and Painting classes. Minimalism features a small number of objects in the frame, creating a seemingly quiet image and an uncluttered, peaceful piece of art. In contrast, maximalism fills the frame. Brian Sago said the dichotomy was intentional. We collectively created the idea to split the gallery in half, with one side being overwhelming, and another side being very open and tranquil. For students, there were no specific barriers to the necessary aspects; anything worked as long as it conveyed a unique kind of intent.
