Behind the Brain

Photographer bio: Andy Prisbylla is a student studying Non-Profit Management & Fundraising at Kent State University. Originally from Steubenville, Prisbylla says that he has been a lot of things in his short time on this planet: pizza cook, librarian, graphic designer, cartoonist, writer, but that photography “is where my heart lies.” He immediately fell in love with Behind the Brain Plaza for its figurative nature and straightforward approach. “On a campus filled with abstract, esoteric public sculptures that scream for the viewer to interpret their meaning, the Brain Plaza creates a uniquely honest and simplistic voice that most artists are afraid to use.” Prisbylla wanted his documentation to be just as honest, which is why he chose black and white for his aesthetic.
