Reflection

          These three artists have heavily inspired me over the past few years within my artistic practice. Karine Leger is known for her many layered paintings, typically requiring a few months to complete. I've been following her on her journey for a while and her process is so beautiful, albeit time consuming. I'm inspired by her mark-making and use of colors becaus they're similar to mine. Tammy Kanat has also been one of my longtime inspirations. Her use of textiles and fiber has always been something I've looked up to, since I've been nervous to make the leap into fiber art. It's beautiful and I feel that I've been able to come out of my comfort zone more, especially with this weeks work (week 9). Last but not least, the woman and artist that has inspired me for the longest, Penny Evans. Her use of her culture as a springboard for inspiration is overwhelming. She constantly delves into the history of indigenous tribes in Australia, widening the understanding of those people throughout her country. She's since become more well-known, due to the fact that her work is organic in nature. The language that she creates through her work has always been a huge inspiration to me. All three of these wonderful and creative people have brought me to where I am today.

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 12

          For this week, I tried my best to photograph in different ways. I used the same set-up, however I wanted to know what grouping them more closely would look like. I enjoy both equally, but in order to get better images for the website, I figured getting more in one shot would be more helpful. I will probably have to re-photograph a majority of these as these photos were mainly grouped by when I made them so I could keep track of the work I'd already posted.
