Latest Work

I still have some kinks to work out, like how the video is SO fast. So we'll call this the rough cut!

Mies Van der Rohe

2009-10-14T15:15:00.000-07:00

Our assignment was to pretend that any architect would remodel your living space (for free!) and design what that space would look like. I chose Mies Van der Rohe, a mid-century modernist known for his work with open, airy spaces using concrete glass and steel. I pretended that I knocked down all of the neighboring apartments, but kept it up on stilts (one of his houses, The Farnsworth house floods every spring... so i wanted to avoid that, plus, i love the view from my balcony, so I wouldnt want to give that up). These are still rough, as I haven't added any light, and still need to make a few more pieces of furniture.

By Wed, this will be a walk through animation of my awesome apartment!

Silly

So for our web design class we explored non-verbal navigation...aka making weird and silly websites using photoshop and dreamweaver and hotspots (whoohoo)

So check it out - scroll down to project 2.o for the link (ps - use safari to view these websites - i know everyone loves firefox, but safari is more forgiving for HTML)

345

The point of the navigation is to take your time and look for the icon switch (from an arrow to a little pointer finger)

My Etching 2 had an all class group assignment to create a public show. We each made 2 prints, and the theme was they had to be framed. Photography by Taryn Cowart

I am pleased to announce that I will be taking Etching 2 next semester, so I will be able to post more etchings! I am exited to work on new etching projects, and also to expand my use of canvas, which I did my final project on!

Some Photos for Class

2008-04-21T13:05:00.000-07:00

These aren't all of my photos, just the ones that I really want to use to make some plates/print, so we'll see how it all turns out. I am missing one photo that I really love, so hopefully when I locate the file I can post it on here as well :-D

This series of etchings is from a plate that I am currently working on. I started with a basic hard ground etching on a zinc plate, and then have been experimenting with the aquatint technique.

Just a tidbit while I work on my latest project and get to school so I can upload my other etchings!

Memory Project

2008-03-06T22:18:00.000-08:00

At the 'Spoon is a great collection of pieces based on memory. How we remember, what memories are, and what we remember are all explored by various artists. Our assignment: get inspired and make our own piece about memory. I chose to focus on how memory functions - more specifically, how you can remember where you were during important events. My mom can tell me where she was when JFK was assassinated, and I can recall exactly what I was doing when I found out about 9/11. Because its art, not a scientific diagram, I have used my own interpretation of what memory would look like... if it were an etching.
