Section I

(Left - Science Challenge | Right: Erasure Marks)





          Before we began our long-term projects, we were assigned to make many small pieces based on one topic. The concepts could be anything we liked so long as it somewhat related to the given idea. One of my first favorite pieces was one related to science. The second was about making marks through the act of erasing.
         Although I'm not good when it comes to science, I've always been attracted to the organic shapes that occur under the microscope. A lot of my pieces were inspired by amoebas and microscopic organisms. The tiny, intricate details are mesmerizing and very special to me. 
          When we were given the assignment to use "erasing" to make art, I immediately thought of an assignment that I was given in high school art class. We were told to make poems by randomly selecting words from old book pages we found. I refined this idea by selecting words or phrases that I found aesthetically appealing to create new content. I erased all of the other words to isolate my new poems and drew around them as I saw fit.

BFA Progress: Week 11

Past Work Current Work                      For this week, I decided to re-photograph all of my previous pieces in a normal setting. I used natural light on the patio but rigged a little "photo booth" area where I can get the most open space/light. I had to tweak the lighting a bit in order to ensure that I got the most vibrancy in the photos.  Definitely liking the direction I've chosen to go. Of course, I do miss painting but these little pieces are so satisfying that they make up for it. I'll more than likely make some paintings on the side to boost my creative process.

BFA Progress: Week 10

          I stuck with the same small shapes this week, but towards the end modified them a bit. I feel more comfortable working with these shapes, even though they aren't on the canvas. They allow me to connect with my work by holding it in the center of my palm. I would say that I definitely always feel the need to forge a relationship between my small scale-sculptures and myself.
