Local artist, Owen Mundy, is currently pursuing an MFA at the University of California , San Diego . The grandson of Indiana farmers and once a photographer in the Navy, his work considers issues of class, middle America , and the relationship between art and audience. Utilizing his BFA in Photography from Indiana University , he co-founded the nonprofit community arts organization Your Art Here, started yourarthere.net, and continues to make community-based artworks.
Mundy’s current body of work looks at the transformation of the male through military basic training, and the cultural representations of this transformation. As in past artworks, he draws heavily on a mixture of personal experiences, academic research, and his desire to engage audiences outside of academic communities through photography and forms of dialogue not commonly found in the creation of art.
