Jessica Fiddes

This year, Delbarton is blessed with seventeen artists in the Class of 2021. To give each of these talented young man the audience he deserves, we are highlighting each artist with a quotation from his artist's statement, a sample of his art and a link to his digital portfolio.

Our fifth featured artist is Ed Conte '21 who says this about his art: "My Sustained Investigation is one where I want to express an individual’s personal hidden narrative, whether it is through the subtlety of an individual’s expression or through their body language. In referencing my images, I found it important to understand what my model is feeling or thinking before attempting to embody those feelings through the manner of my technique or through high contrasts between light and dark. My use of scratchboard, allows me the ability to achieve those goals, mirroring and dramatizing the emotions and expressions of the people I chose."
