Peer Review

Jeanette Pasin Sloan, MFA’69, is inspired by the familiar, selecting and arranging reflective objects—pots, plastic cups, teakettles—that she finds in her home. Her newest series features paintings of kitchen utensils, like Knife I (2008, oil on linen, 28 x 42 inches). “I’ve always picked very simple objects mainly for their ability to reflect,” she says. “It’s kind of interesting to see all that can go on in something so ordinary and simple that we all have to deal with every day.”
