Studio 2D Final

  • January 6, 2018

Assignment: Mixed media self portrait painting. The students had to choose objets as a self portrait. My objects were a collective of found/ found objects in which I felt most represented myself.

I reflected myself through my current interest, ideas, thoughts and emotion. A portrait of me right now, in this day and age. I personally think of myself in a broader perspective, as a temporary species. I believe I am made from the past energy and different elements of nature.  I context myself to be energy, color and creative, multidimensional consisting of many parts and elements. (like the cabinet of curiosity). My idea for this project was to completely self constructed this cabinet of the curiosity of which conveys my ideas/soul/spirit. Revealing one emotion or message on the outer layer when actively engaging in opening different layers, panels and boxes in which all contain different imagery. I wanted the viewers to be able to participate in the actively of the reveal. I designed this wooden panel, where I made boxes and panels that were glued and attached. Making a multidimensional piece.
