Sounds (2008)

2009-03-03T10:00:00.000-08:00

Here are a couple pieces that I made last year. The assignment was to re-create sounds visually. These two are Marimba and French . I think the Marimba one worked better for the assignment, but I like the French one better. I like how disgusting his words of french-love spilled all over her look and how pleased she seems to be with something that looks similar to vomit.

These are a few different versions of a poster that I made for a mission trip to India.

Zine and Alternate Ego Project (WARP 2007)

2008-09-13T15:46:00.000-07:00

For this project we needed to create a mini magazine that our chosen alternate ego's would be interested in. I chose to be a Chameleon named Yu. Yu was supposed to automatically be whoever she was around. When Yu was around you, she wasnn't Yu, she was you. Yeah, it was weird, LOL.

The chameleon's tongue goes throughout the whole zine, but it's kind of hard to understand, so I'll label them underneath each picture. If you want to read what they say, just click on the photo to enlarge it.

Sightings

Cuisine

Style

This was a piece of see through chameleon that you could take out and put on top of the various patterns to see how this season's fashions would flatter. :P

Colors

Blue: I focused on a chameleon's musings about color blue.

Documentation: For this project, we were supposed to spend a whole day (I did it for I think 30 minutes, LOL) as our alter egos and to document our interaction with people. I carried around a bag of different colored shirts, changing into whatever color shirt the person I was interacting with was wearing. I documented a couple of people that, as a chameleon, I "turned into," adopting and documenting their interests and personalities. This, too, was really weird.

45,000 Dead: A tragedy strikes the chameleons.

It's not easy being unseen: A poem by Yu.

The End.

This project was actually in sequential picture book form, a photo on each page. So it would be beneficial to view as such here (from left to right).

They did it and so can you. (2007)

Mahatma Gandhi

Emily Dickinson

Albert Einstein

We were given complete freedom on our final project in Intro to Art and this is what came out of me. I displayed each of these 12x17's in a different bathroom stall of the gallery facing the potty-er. This piece comments on the equal state of all humanity, encouraging the viewer to do great things. As if to say to the viewer, "the people exemplified here did great things, but they also pooped. Just like you do. There's no difference between you thus you have the same potential to achieve at their same level. So buck up and solve world hunger already." It was also made for ridiculousness. Gandhi's my favorite.

Last year I was working toward a Graphic Design degree at the University of Florida. But throughout the year, I realized that I was unhappy. At first I thought it was because I didn't know what I wanted to to with my life, or if I really wanted to be studying Graphic Design. But near the end of the the year I started realizing that I would never know who I was or what I wanted to do with my life if God wasn't in my life and in me. So, this year I'll be trying to fix that and will be focusing on Him.

:) Here's where I'll be:
