This is a collage that I made for drawing class. We were asked to photocopy images and make a collage that included text. I photocopied photographs by Ilse Bing from a book in the library.
This image is a close-up. You can sort of see that on top of the girl's head is an upside-down swing set and the two girls that were in the swing set are cut out and are falling. The text is falling too and it reads, "Remember that you will forget."
Drawing is what got me interested in studying art. I like to draw from life or from an image. I like to look at every surface of an object or a scene and put it on paper. In recording all the details of something, you get really focussed and almost entranced. I like to enter this focus sometimes. This is an image that I drew while looking out my bedroom window into my backyard. It's a shared backyard with other people in my apartment. The guys that live on the first floor do public movie screenings in the backyard in the summer. So, every morning when I look out the window, I see a huge stack of chairs. I realize that this image is a bit blurry but hopefully you can see the chairs. The drawing isn't complete. I might finish it, but I usually don't finish things that I do for myself, so I might not finish it.
This is a work in progress for my Fibres class. I made four small weavings, one for my roommate, one for my sister, one for her roommate(who is also my good friend) and one for me. Here they are before I cut them apart from each other. This project is going to be about smell. I was thinking about how cloth always takes on a persons smell so, I am giving each weaving to the person to wear and live with for a few days. Each one is woven with the colours that I felt represented that person. When I showed it to my sister and my roommate, they both liked the one that I had made for them the best. That makes me think that my colour choices were successful. I actually like the one that I made for myself the best.
