Keep Looking

  Keep Looking Wooden dowels, wood flooring, paper butterflies from book pages, wood glue, wire, yellow and orange highlighters 15", 17", 12.5" Inspiration:                        My inspiration images for Keep Looking are based upon the 'cut out' method, and an  ara mitama. The 'cut out' method is where you find a page with text on it, wether its from a newspaper, a book, or a printed piece of paper, and you cut individual words or phrases from this page and use it to create a completely different meaning than the way it originally started.

I am out in public, re-creating a piece, that is in three-dimensional but much smaller in scale compared to the original. I am using my body pressed against the corner of this building to become one with the building. "To have a souvenir of the exotic is to possess both a specimen and a trophy." My ...

Spoken Seasons Natural leaves,  natural pressed flowers, plaster, golden chain, museum wax, black foam board, hot glue, pallet wood, plexiglass, acrylic paint and water (stain), nails and screws 21",  24",  3" Found Object Artist Statement           Spoken seasons, has already been spoken about but if I can hint more into what’s spoken seasons really means even more so now that a shadowbox was created for it, I would begin How a shadowbox works. Shadowbox is used to contain contents within inside of it and it can’t be touched. A shadowbox is meant to keep the outside from coming in. And with spoken seasons, I have created space of natural cycles with my dancing leaf ladies.and I created a shadowbox because these dancing ladies represent the four seasons that we go throughout every year. The seasons are consistent maybe not at all times of the year, but we can always count on them to happen every single year. As humans we love to get our hands...
