Spatial Blueprint


Spatial Blueprint
Wood, acrylic paints: ultramarine, light blue, white, pink, and black.

The spatial blueprint depicted was inspired by my mentor's studio space. The space itself is structurally rectangular with long rectangular hallways that bring you into other parts of her house. The abstract roses that protruded from the piece are representative of all the things that extended off her walls and abstract flowers that I would observe her paint. I chose this place due to the fact I don't have many attachments to physical places but this was a place I have always found sanctuary in even after many years. The fluid design and floral attachments I made were inspired by her art that was dispersed around the studio. Each rose that I attached and painted was painted differed from each other whereas I wanted to be as abstract and inconsistent as I could get.

Progress photos:

This last progress picture was when I was attempting to imitate the reference photo I had of a piece from my mentor but decided to live by my mentor's words that advised me to let go of my perfectionist mindset.

At home, I went to the Mountain Film Festival every November with my mother. Since I no longer reside much at home, this photo and the films I viewed serve as a reminder of how much I cherished the experience of attending.  Sentence 3:  "The souvenir reduces the public, the monumental, and the three-dimensional into the miniature that which can be enveloped in the body."  As I was standing on the side of the road while the rest of ...

Illustrating on Naturally Dyed Textile

Mansion Door This illustration is inspired by the song “Mansion Door” by Shakey Graves. The song has this sort of haunting comfort that is shown with the use of the indigo textile and the style of the house. It is very difficult to view but the door is slightly creaked to inflict curiosity within the viewer and allude to the lyrics that state “If you knew what would happen then you’d never step foot in the mansion door”. The use of graphite makes it more haunting as it is challenging to view on the deep indigo textile and the viewer is dated to take a closer look...

Naturally Dyed Pride Flags

Natural Dyed Pride Flags     This idea of naturally dyed pride flags stemmed from a desire to have a pride flag of that wasn’t so alarming to the eye. The goal was to create flags that felt cozy within a home environment that still made a statement like a synthetic dyed flag. The research and testing of colors was the most arduous part of tis project. The yellow and blue colors were the easiest to nail down as tumeric and indigo were the perfect shades from the beginning. Aside from the full spectrum flag the other communities that were chosen were the pansexual and transgender community. Although the transgender community is so quintessential for LGBTQ+ history it is often glossed over. The pansexual community was also chosen due to the fact that people who identify as such often get their sexuality erased from them. Full Spectrum Pansexual  Transgender
