Drawing/Imaging: Bridge #1 Project #2

To create a visual representation of a distinct memory from my childhood, I challenged myself to only use one main material, because often memories are not completely remembered in the full. We usually remember bits and pieces of a memory, and are able to fill in the blanks. This particular memory is of the ceiling of my old room. My ceiling was slanted both ways because it was right under the roof, so my parents painted it blue with white clouds. It was my own blue sky.

My material was strips of packaging air, which I then used to create separate little pockets of air. The material itself, plastic, when in this form is more free and light, which compares to the lightweight-ness of clouds, but deeply contrasts because of the consumerism and packaging aspect. Also, the transparency of the material allows for light to reflect off it, resembling clouds.
