A Few Of My Favorite Things

Image
  My favorite things include: My record player. It was my favorite Christmas gift that was given to me by my boyfriend’s aunt, so it reminds me of friends and family. My record collection is small but building- I have my favorite Daniel Caesar album and some older records that I stole from my parents. My accessories. Though I don’t event wear them that often, my little star clips and hand-made beaded jewelry remind me of childhood and playfulness. These are some of the small things that bring me joy in my tiny, empty dorm room that connect me to the friends who I made them and purchased them with. My coffee.

The cup that I drink it out of was a hand-me-down from my grandmother who I miss so much.  My AirPods.

Foam and Plaster Sculpture

I used intuitive decision-making as the process unfolded, and I now have a better understanding of the materials. I think that, in general, it is a good thing to be able to create the art in your sketches, especially when creating for someone else. However, there is also are in ch...

Surface Pattern Design

Surface Pattern Design Feb 13 Pattern Detail In-Progress Research   Research #1 (Liz Magor) Liz Magor is an artists who makes uncanny casts of regular objects, such as fabrics, coats, and boxes. Since I was searching for textile artists, I did not understand at first that these pieces were not ordinary plaid textile designs, but they are casts of fabric. I find it interesting how Liz chose the particular patterns in trying to create something that looks "ordinary"... is plaid the most ordinary pattern? Research #2 (Joiri Minaya ) Joiri Minaya is a New York-based artist. from the Dominican Republic who is hyper fixed on patterns, and the labor that goes on behind them. Minaya finds it interesting that women are often the ones creating patterns. Minaya also finds "patterns" in the way that women pose, particularly on vacation, and uses such images in her work. I love pattern design and hadn't considered these things about patterns before. I don't think I could...
