Item Open Access Art Feature — “Tuning In”(University of Oregon, 2022-05) Wilkinson, OliviaTaken near Fisher Mountain, WY at my family’s cabin, this polyphemus moth sat like this on our screen door for over 24 hours. It was important to me to capture its because it was truly massive: its wingspan was at least as long as my hand from wrist to fingertip.Item Open Access Cover Art — “The Visitor”(University of Oregon, 2022-05) Wilkinson, OliviaSmaller things tend to go unnoticed, especially when they exist around us and touch our daily lives in minute ways. Crouch down, look up, or step closer, and there is a world of beauty and movement just about everywhere. Human beings are lifelong learners; we learn through observation, and through that observation, we test boundaries and make conclusions. These photos represent moments when I chose to slow down and listen. By doing so, we take steps toward a collective understanding of nature.Item Open Access How Festivals Influenced the Musical Landscape of the 1960s(University of Oregon, 2023-05-16) Wilkinson, OliviaThis article uses a combination of sources, including music and its lyrics, works from other scholars, an interview with a Woodstock attendee, personal accounts, artwork, and video performances to gather a comprehensive view of each festival. The video footage consists of performances, outtakes of performances, and interviews, with more footage available with each subsequent festival. Song lyrics are used liberally as primary source material to track changes between festival eras. The Beatles are referenced periodically because their career trajectory was closely tied with popular music trends. Music, performance, and personal accounts are vital to understanding how the three festivals are connected and how festivals as a concept grow over time. The first chapter discusses the Newport Folk Festival and how the electric Dylan controversy sheds light on the festival as an event that showcased a bending of genres. Chapter two discusses the Monterey International Pop Festival and how the Bay Area where the festival took place is tied to the explosion of psychedelic drug use. The last chapter discusses Woodstock and why the war was important in understanding why the festival was more controversial than many remember today. Drugs, music, and freedom of expression colored the last years of the 1960s. A willingness to experiment was a strong characteristic of many of the youth of the decade, whether they became high-profile performers or stayed among the crowds, and was closely tied with the transitional periods discussed in this article.Item Open Access Unbound 2021 Double Issue(University of Oregon, 2021) Unbound Journal, University of Oregon; Belfield, Molly; Houpert, Casey; Colwell, VictoriaItem Open Access Unbound Spring 2021: Volume 12, Issue 2(University of Oregon, 2021) Unbound Journal, University of Oregon; Ramirez, Nallely; Dickerson, Koby; Colwell, VictoriaItem Open Access Unbound Winter 2021: Volume 12, Issue 1(University of Oregon, 2021) Unbound Journal, University of Oregon; Ramirez, Nallely; Dickerson, Koby; Colwell, Victoria
