My very first creation at Parsons!
We began class by making name tags that became increasingly abstracted with each iteration. The abstracted name tags emphasize pronunciation and identity association. As a class, we then interpreted each other’s name tags and assigned them adjectives. My classmates wrote “chill,” “water-like,” and “fierce” for mine. I agreed with chill and fierce to an extent, but I cannot relate to being water-like, as I see myself as rigid and even stubborn.
We then had a chance to visit the Rubin Museum in order to get inspiration for our upcoming Memory Mandala projects.

This is not a mandala … or is it? Where’s the square?
This a fun figure we found at the Rubin
And finally, a rather grotesque one!
