The title of my final project is called Hurt Emotions. This piece of art is based on the idea of nonviolent peacemaking and how this idea could have effected my life. The video uses the idea of self reflection from Jeppe Hein and the construction of the montaged clips comes from Christian Marclay. I was able to do this through appropriation. This video uses new vision style photography to record the performers. Each clip was recorded separately. The three performers have a personal connection to what I, as an artist, am voicing. This project is supposed to bring awareness to the problem of violence within society.

In this piece, I had used symbolism. Each object in the suit will repress something coming from the Wu Xing Chart. The live performance art uses choreography and lots of movement. The use of asymmetrical balance and hierarchy gave the suit a little more emphasis. There is a figure-ground relationship within this work of art. The figure would be the sound suit and performer, while the ground would be a projected forest. Each object within the suit all ties into a theme of mourned death. Not wanting to let go. There is a personal connection with this piece because when I loose a loved one, I mourn alone. I find an escape to hide myself so that nobody can see my emotions. The sound suit was made to hide the identity of the person wearing it.
This piece was made using sitra-solve. The piece was based off of the Taoist symbols yin-yang and wu-xing. The various images that were used represent the words; anger, tears, hatred, middle finger, Saturn, human, nose, smell, death, and death.
This accordion-fold timeline was mainly inspired by the styles of Bradbury Thompson and Herb Lubalin. There are map keys on each side of the timeline to explain each era and event. In this project, I used the negative space and map keys to try and create asymmetrical balance within the timeline.
Complimentary (Red + Green)The color scheme that I used in this photo was complimentary. Red and green are compliments to each other. You may also see another color scheme with the red or green. The monochromatic color scheme appears in the red and green because of the different shades of color in each. Analogous (Rainbow)In this composition, I used the analogous color scheme with a combination of the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Complimentary (Blue + Orange)For the third site-specific installation, I chose to do another complimentary color scheme with different colors. Blue and orange is another pair of complimentary colors.
In Part 3 of "Thematic Collage", I took an up-close picture of the collage I had made for the tonal composition. The up-close picture was able to have images run off of the picture plane. The color I had chose for this composition was blue. When choosing the different colors for this project, I had changed the tonal values of the blue. Using the color scheme, analogous, It gave me a variety of greens and purples. When I created this piece, I wanted to emphasize the more meaningful color scheme to me, which is complimentary. The color complimenting blue is orange. The two biggest shapes on my piece are blue and orange because I wanted the viewer to notice them fist.
In this project, we took away a lot of detail away from the original images. With this being said, I was able to form hybrid shapes by putting two different shapes of the same color together to make a whole other shape. But if I overlapped a shape on another of different color, I was able to subtract from that shape. The different tones of each individual shape creates more of a color perspective on the picture plane.
In Part 1 of "Thematic Collage", my words that I had based my artwork on were Unemotional, Destructible, and Recollection. I had chose objects based on synonyms of my chosen words and I was able to find images that best fit them. For example, a synonym for unemotional would be cold or frigid. I chose to use a fridge in mine to relate to "cold." The layout of my final composition (bottom) shows implied lines and motion. I was able to achieve this through space between objects and object orientation.
The "WORDS" project was more of like Barbara Kruger's "Belief + Doubt" made in 2012. In the process of creating this project. I had went back and forth from 2d to 3d and then back to 2d. I printed off my selected bold fonts onto a 2d paper and then cut the paper to form a 3d sculpture. I used the method of hatching and cross hatching to create a type of value and pictorial depth. When making my second iteration, I had used a different media to try and get the image to pop more off of the page.
While I was going through the thought process in creating this project, I wanted to create something based off of Max Ernest's "Mechanism of Collage" essay. Putting two objects together that would not usually be together was the base of this installation. The idea of ripping apart the barbie and using balance to achieve a different perspective really pushed me to paste the different limbs in various areas. I loved the idea of installing my assisted readymade artwork in front Studio Angelico to emphasize the fact that it is art.
