Looking Up

 

 

 

For this piece I preformed a series of walks in which I focused primarily on "looking up"

I observed the translucent layering of colors and patterns created by different trees.

My response was to hand draw multiple repeats based on different species of trees.

The colors and patterns are representational of those I observed

The drawings were scanned, digitally colored, and layered.

The large compositions were printed digitally on rayon which is made from tree fibers.

The two pieces of cloth were installed above heads.

Memory Loss Dolls

 

This is a project that deals with the loss of memory, especially the memory of making. On an individual scale these dolls, fashioned after old ladies, are armless and unable to use the skills they have accumulated throughout their lives. They have lost their making memory in the way that we all ultimately will. I created the dolls in an "assembly line" style, working them as a whole, step by step. This process disconnects me from the final piece, puts me at a disadvantage for adjustments, but is much quicker. Because of how the dolls were made, they talk about the loss of making memory as a society. I am concerned about the issue of accumulative memory loss of skills as older people start to forget.
