Topographic Bird
Image
For this Fluxus project, I went on a walk and drew a topographic map of the trail. Then I combined it with a bird, an animal that would be able to see the layout of the areas and add text that described the noises I heard. The process was fun as it was a mix of physical and digital work.
Beady Night
Image
In this contemporary project, I recreated The Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh using over a thousand beads glued to an 18 x 16-inch canvas. Although not viewable until in person, there are areas where the beads are stacked up to give a 3D effects.
Rhythm
Image
This piece was part of a group project in which, a peer made a collage of distorted musical notes and I had to create a piece to pair it. To me, the image speaks about how people feel about music, and expresses their rhythm through motion.
