| These
are boxes for the color theory assignment "Harmonious and Discordant
Personal Color Schemes." They are made out of illustration board
covered with magazine strips, gel medium, and acrylic paint (to give
them a weathered look). The filling is made of strips of cut-up computer
printouts that say the words, "Harmonious" and "Discordant." |
|
| This
is a weaving done on a homemade loom for Intro to Fibers. This is
the second version. Originally I was going to use a journal entry,
but then it evolved into a piece about capturing a moment in writing.
The marker is trapped in there to further emphasize that idea. |
|
| These
pictures show the first weaving being produced on the loom I made
for Fibers class. This one includes blue raffia and orange paper.
|
|
| Caution
tape, plastic bags, newspaper strips, and milk rings make up this
woven pillow with a recyling theme. It looks like it would be soft,
but inside is a crushed tin can. |
|
| This
is a manipulation for Fibers class made out of found objects (a roof
shingle, pine bough and twine). At first I wanted to put the pine
bough and shingle together because they contrast in an interesting
way. As I was wrapping them with the twine just to see what it would
look like, I started to think about relationships. It came to relationships
in which the people involved feel trapped. The pine bough and shingle
do not really belong together, but are bound with weathered twine
(found wrapped around the base of a telephone pole). |
|
| Described
in the class critique as a "sentiment," this piece uses
materials reminecent of my sister--hemp and beads--to create a "coil,"
a basketmaking technique. The pictures were added to create a feeling
of her recent presence, or a kind of a memory trapped under the coils.

| A
box with bark and handmade paper to hold my fibers portfolio. |
 |
| An
experiment in block printing. Rotated this way they are butterflies... |
 |
| ...and
this way four blocks make a unit and it looks like flowers. |
 |
| Mixed
media landscape-like abstraction |
 |
| This
is silk painted with a technique called Serti. I wanted to use bright
colors, so I chose a fun subject. I think about feet a lot because
of running and dancing. |
 |
| A
lampshade also painted with the Serti technique and salt (to create
texture). The wires underneath are curved to repeat the pattern on
the shade. |
|
| A
rug that uses the coiling technique mentioned earlier. I tried to
make the rug and lamp match. I wanted to make them both in calm, blue
colors because I was thinking about how comforting objects like this
can be. |
|
| This
is another piece woven on my loom. Probably my favorite thing I've
made at SCAD, it uses yarn, palm leaves, and beads. I just wanted
to create something simple and beautiful. |
