Diversity Banners

 Personal Banner



Life's a Picnic
Fabric, Felt, Polyfill, Spraypaint, Fabric Marker
31" x 40"








Statement: 

In creating this banner, it was the collection of found fabrics that inspired the design. The gingham and the bright red dotted fabric screamed "Picnic". The design is very graphic and organised, with almost a bird's-eye view of a picnic scene. It is meant to be a captured moment in time, hence the frame around the design. The ants are following the flow of the spraypainted felt letters, leading to the strawberries. The phrase, "Life's a Picnic" is sarcastic to me personally, as I was in a stressed moment in time, but communicates a positive, fun message to the audience, which is why I find enjoyment in it. 

Student Theatre Organization Club Banner




Tough Act to Follow
Fabric, Felt, Ribbon
30" x 40"








Statement: 
In planning the club banner for STO, the thought process, as someone who is very removed from theatre at a whole, was to choose something that classically communicates "theatre" or show without being too specific to an actual show. This is where the curtain imagery derived from. In the portion of the banner where the stage would appear in this composition, the phrase"Tough Act to Follow" is placed in felt lettering. The font choice was very intentional, since the banner's composition is relatively simple. The letters are meant to be modern by being bold and legible, yet reminiscent of the Shakespearean era to match the history of theatre, which is most easily communicable to a non-theatre audience.

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. At one point, I tried to quit drinking caffeine, but I gave up because of how much more easily I can focus. It’s a small treat that I like to tell myself I deserve. The cup that I drink it out of was a hand-me-down from my grandmother who I miss so much.  My AirPods. Listening to all kinds of music is another tool I use to get school and art work done and also to focus in the gym.

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
