Bridge 4: Homecoming: Returning the Canvases
Homecoming: Returning the Canvases Dimensions: 20 x 24 Medium: Acrylic, Wood Artist Statement: Museums are highly dependent on artifacts and paintings from all around the world and boast about having large collections of these relics regardless of how they were acquired. This painting depicts a scene inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where all the paintings are blank, envisioning a reality where paintings and artifacts are rightfully repatriated. I chose…

Bridge 2- Writing & Reflection
Reflection During the brainstorming and observation steps of my process, I focused my attention on surface level observations of my room and not my emotional attachments to objects and things within my room. This allowed me to manifest myself into the importance of memory, both within the things of my room and the essay itself. Additionally, during my hour observation, I found myself losing focus and just sitting in silence.…

Bridge 2: A Bedroom, Unveiled
Artist Statement: Within my bedroom, the unnecessary hoardings of paper bags cluttered up my space. Rather than throwing them all away, I used them as the primary material for this project to physically incorporate a fragment of my room into this piece. The night before sitting in my room and observing, I do a similar thing within my piece, most of the paper bags in my room were ripped and…
Frick Madison Write-Up
Officer and the Laughing Girl Artist: Johannes Vermeer Year: 1657 Medium: Oil on Canvas Seeing this piece in person really resonated with me because through pictures, it looks really dark but in person, the details are a lot better captured. The light of the windows pop and creates a very delicate and vulnerable moment between the figures. The Forge Artist: Francisco Goya Year: 1817 Medium: Oil on Canvas The bright…

Bridge 1: Inspired by Primary Sourcing
Dimensions: 20″ x 26″ Medium: Charcoal Artist Statement: Originally inspired by a story from an interview with a classmate where the power shuts off, I wanted to explore the dynamic between light and shadow. Brainstorming ideas around the concept of light and shadow resulted in realizations of the limited capabilities of our eyesight, fear manifesting in darkness, and my personal need for control and knowledge. This is a series of…

Expansion into Space
Utilizing the analog and digital tools learned throughout this course you will create a work that exhibits how you envision expansion into space. I also looked to shows that incorporate a dog character either as a sidekick or a main character. For example, in the movie Bolt, the focus is on the dog and him being unaware of the real human world around him as they film a movie. Although…
Open Works: Since it’s raining
My film centers around the idea and perception of time and its relativity to the situation and surroundings. Originally I wanted to create a film that explored the daylight savings and overdramatize the problems it causes to many people. However as I began to film, I was more fascinated by the mundane daily tasks that we have no other option but to give up our time to; such examples explored…

The Wall paintings from a Cubiculum Nocturnum are a set of wallpaper-like paintings from 50-40 BCE in Roman culture. Although not part of an official collection, about sixty sections of wall paintings were discovered after the excavation of the villa and sold to different museums around the world. The walls of Room M were purchased by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1903 and are currently on view. The particular…
Gallery Visit
The gallery I chose to write about was the show “Forever Wild.” The first piece I noticedwas the wooden sculpture of the rabbit-duck illusion. I especially liked this piece because theinvitations Daina handed out in class referenced the sculpture and felt specially curated. Thecontinuation and blending of the shape and colors of the wood also played together making itmore engaging to the eyes. The use of the mirror as the…
