A Revised Reading List

Chaya Holch

ast spring, my English teacher asked my class of LLowers how many times we had heard or read stories sim- ilar to that of Holden Caulfield, the protagonist of J.D. Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye.” She asked how many fiction books we had ever read that were not written by white men – how many books we had heard re- ferred to as “classics” that were not written by that same demo- graphic. I was shocked to look back and realize that in my time at Andover, less than half of the lit- erature I have been asked to read has been written by women and even fewer by people of color, especially women of color. My teacher’s questions resonated with me. This summer, I com- mitted myself to excluding fic- tion books written by white men from my summer reading list. So began my months with Isabel Al- lende, Jhumpa Lahiri, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Ruth Ozeki, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and more. In the last three months, I s.al-mayahi/the phillipian did not ride a train with Holden Caulfield, visit Gatsby in West had I continued to read the most that would have eluded me had not always recognized because spectives.

Andover Football furthered its preparation for the fall sea- son this past Saturday with a scrimmage at Brooks. Although no official score was recorded, each team took turns punting and taking snaps on offense and defense. Led by quarterback Robert Jones ’16, a Post-Graduate (PG), Andover excelled on offense and advanced on Brooks’ de- fense using effective passes. PG tight end Hallvard Lun- devall ’16 said, “The pass game was really clicking on Satur- day. [Jones] was throwing great balls and got the protection he needed.” Despite the strong offen- sive presence in the air, the team struggled with its running game.

Q: Did you work on any personal projects over the summer? A: “I started a new series of large drawings that incorporate photographs that I’ve taken. So the drawings are mixed media as they start with fragments of those photographs and build from there. They’re definitely in the experimental, exploratory stage, but it’s a direction that I like, so I’ll continue with it.”

Q: What is the focus of these mixed media pieces? A: “When I was on sabbatical... in 2006, I started a series of light and shadow photographic compositions… I’m now taking those photographs, which I reprinted on rice paper last year in preparation for an exhibit but I never used, to base these drawings. I’m actually just starting with fragments of these shadow images and building it from there. And the drawing is, in a different way, replicating the shadow and light.”

Q: What actually inspired you to start this series? A: “I wanted to do something other than photography. I’ve never really considered myself a photographer, even though for a long period of time I was using photography. Photography was something I actually started in 1989 when I moved from Philadelphia, P.A., to Savan- nah, G.A., to accept a position there, and I didn’t want to take a ton of sculpture materials with me, so I brought my camera. And Savannah is just such a photogenic city, so I became really fascinated, and I was discovering the city through my camera, and that just became fascinating to me. After that I went to London for three years. I just kept photographing, because there was so much to photograph. That’s what led to me working on series in the photographic media for ten or more years. So now I just want to explore something other than photography.” L. HAMANN/THE PHILLIPIAN

At the very top of a white wall in the Addison Gallery of American Art, an irregular and uneven black line crosses the surface and begins Sol LeWitt’s “Wall Drawing #797.” Under- neath this first line is another, but drawn by a different person and in a different color. Sever- al people continued to copy the undulating line down the wall, alternating between red, yellow and blue lines. Although LeWitt designed the piece’s pattern, “Wall Drawing #797” can be in- stalled anywhere using instruc- tions written by LeWitt. Sever- al staff members at the Addison Gallery of American Art worked together this summer to assem- ble “Wall Drawing #797” for “Converging Lines: Eva Hesse and Sol LeWitt,” a new exhibit at the Addison. “I love [‘Wall Drawing #797’].
