Spacial Blueprint




Concealed Joy
wood, cardboard, paper, hotglue
12x12x1

My car is a safe place. My car has been able to take me and my friends all over Florida. The journies in my car have been just as important as the destination, whether I am alone or with friends music and memories are always being made within this space. I recreate my car in Concealed Joy by mimicking the barrier that is the shell of my car with the white circular frame. The paper pieces represent the memories within the car. Yellow is the joyful memories, orange is the content memories and blue is my alone time in my car. My memories in my car weave and overlap just like the paper. There is white space left to represent the space for more memories to be made.

"The body is the primarily made of perceiving scale." I picked this image because this photo was taken to show the members of my friend group in high school and we were arranged by height. "The capacity of objects to serve as traces of authentic experience. " These are polaroids taken during some of my last few weeks in my hometown. They represent some of my favorite memories with my friends. The polaroids are the trace of authentic experience.  "To have a souvenir of the exotic is to poses a specimen and a trophy." In high school, I had to make a pinch pot for ceramics and this was the outcome. Now I use it to hold pens and it serves as a memory of that class.  "The place of ordainment remain unavailable in order for desire to be generated." This photo works to represent this quote because my cat is only slightly visible. I know how she is peeking out like that because I know what is behind th...

Touch

What is touch? "Many suffers of MS can feel an object in their pocket (a set off keys), but they can't identify by touch. The brain won't decode the shape correctly"  Diane Ackerman I have seen first-hand the struggles that MS can cause in a person’s life. The feeling of touch plays a large role in the life of someone with MS. My goal in making this piece was to show an effect of MS in a subtle way. I want to focus on the identity touch brings to an object. I took two pictures of the same hand in the same position but holding different objects that someone with MS could misidentify. The hands look like they are a proper set of hands holding objects, but really it is the same hand. This is done to show how easy it is to mistake objects when the sensation of touch is lost.  The hands where cut out from the body and replaced with no background to show the feeling of detachment of touch from the whole body.  Pain "Pain has played us throu...

Fluxus Box   La La Land  Wood molding, Balsa wood, yellow paint, blue paint,  red paint, plastic with a glass film, recorder, yarn, rose,  wax, chapstick containter, cardboard, felt, woodglue, nails, foam 13x3x3   This box is inspired by the film La La Land directed by Damien Chazelle The box is made from decorative molding with a felt bottom. The shape of the box is a long triangle to mimic a timeline. The box is painted an off white to show that the story being told is not perfect. The imperfections of my box were borrowed ideas from the movie since both of the leads had to learn to deal with these imperfections to find success in life. Opening the box reveals that the box is looking back at you due to a mirror being placed at the bottom. This was done to represent that a viewer is an object within the box. The movie has characters that everyone has a trait they can relate to and connect with and with the mirror at the bottom, it creates...
