BFA Portfolio: Artist Statement Bullets


  • Delving deeper into the idea of language and layering 
  • Visual storyteller 
  • Being able to mimic soothing shapes and textures through painting and sculpture
  • Bringing to life the relaxing property of softness and smooth lines/shape 
  • Tribal qualities, reminiscent of knot making in ancient civilizations -- ( continuation of our history with textiles )
  • Playing with light to achieve a more dramatic quality, but moreso to enhance the details on the fabric/canvas 
  • By using textured materials, easier to envision the slow process of time 
  • The collective whole -- combining different materials together to be seen as one. Brining together all of the aspects of art that I find most pleasing in work
  • Ambiguous shapes that are pleasing because of their unknown origin. Natural looking, also soothing to look at 
  • The connection between humans and textiles from birth -- there is still a need for this today, for anyone. We sleep with sheets, we adorn ourselves with clothes, we curl up with blankets for warmth 
  • Careful decision making, constantly considering the "what if" factor in art making -- taking risks that wouldn't normally be taken 
  • Intuitive making 
  • Specific color palette of muted colors

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.
