A whirlpool of emotions, a deeper thought level, a different world perspective, an opening of the heart; art is a very extensive field that can allow one to live through each and every one of these experiences all while viewing a single piece or collection.

Moorpark College is no outsider to this world of depth, welcoming Nancy Baker Cahill’s showcase “Interruptions” to the Administration building through the month of November.

“Interruptions” takes one into a mental, emotional feeling of how one perceives beauty through their own eyes.

Students, especially those interested in the field of art, will have the opportunity to view Cahill’s exhibition free of charge, allowing them to gain inspiration and appreciation for Cahill’s works.

Mariana Hernandez, 18-year-old, psychology major, was very moved when she first saw Cahill’s work right in front of her eyes. She has never seen such a different type of artwork or form being brought together before. It was different than what she’s usually seen before.

“It’s like she combined nature with the body into one,” said Hernandez. “Each painting has a different story to tell with its own meaning of movement from what I can see is the face, arms, hands, to the entire body. It’s so beautiful you can’t take your eyes off it.”

Autumn Campbell, 19-years-old, psychology major, was moved by the art as she saw each piece with its own personality.

“Even though I’m not really into art, these paintings definitely blow you away,” said Campbell. “It’s like as if it’s trying to get into a different part of your head and makes you think really deep of what you see in the painting, which I think it’s very hard to pull off.

Even though art gallery director and artist herself Erika Lizee is a full-time Art department faculty member, Cahill’s gallery is teaching Lizee the rights and wrongs of hanging and handling the art correctly, according to Lizee.

“Hanging [Cahill’s] work has been definitely different from the others because they’re these gigantic drawings that go from floor to ceiling that are incredibly beautiful,” says Lizee. “But there was also that fear because they’re not framed and we all just had to be extra careful.”

In order to keep the pieces still in tact, the people hanging the gallery had to wear gloves and work as a team, all the while enjoying every moment of handling Cahill’s beautiful pieces, according to Lizee.

The exhibition will be showcased in the Administration building until Nov. 29 for all interested parties to come view, free of charge.
