Personal Project

 

Presence (Self-Portrait)

Spray Paint, Yarn, Burlap & Charcoal on Canvas

24" X 60"

Artist Statement:

A presence, flowing from top to bottom that is clean and imperfect on the outside. In the inside, the tenderness and vulnerability is revealed with similar lines shown on the exterior. I did not realize until after, how much this presence reflects me and my character.

Diversity Banners

 

Personal Banner

Express Yourself

Spray Paint, Oil, Acrylic & Charcoal on Canvas

32.5" X 44"

I had an idea to cut out old paintings I had and collage them on to my personal banner. The idea came about after my initial idea about spray painting personal banner didn't come out how I envisioned. The collage ended up flowing visually, emphasizing the decisions I made on how I arranged my art on the banner.

Club Banner

The Brainstorm Is Coming

Felt & Acrylic

30" X 40"

For the AIGA Club Banner, I wanted to emphasize the process of Graphic Design. With Alaina, the club president, we came up with using a text box and a duplicated image to get across commonly used actions in the graphic design process. 

Surface Pattern Design

 

Uroko

Acrylic on Canvas

19.5" X 30"

My goal of this piece was to achieve representation through simple geometric shapes. Inspired my sister moving to Kyoto, Japan, I decided to make a piece based triangles that represent scales in Japanese culture. I want to keep exploring different shapes meanings in different cultures.
