Theater



Theater is another Major I have been looking into. This Department is another art form that I find myself attracted to because of its expression. There is a certain type of person to be able to control how people see them and I feel that learning this ability will help me in Art in general.

Philosophy





Another Passion of mines is Philosophy. Philosophy is my second choice of Major Because its about thinking, challenging everything and coming up with solutions only to know there is much more than you think. I think very abstractly and maybe I could find a way to use it to my advantage here.

Kinectic Imaging




This is the main department I want to get into. Kinetic Imaging seems to be the department to learn more than one aspects of the world around us and to play off of any aspect in a 4th dimensional way. Things move and have energy, a stylized energy. I'm hoping I can learn how to present that better through this program.

Surface Research & Destroy Progress






 
For this Project I wanted to play with the word "destroy" and capture many aspects of destroying in a figurative way. The first is through Plagiarism, which destroys the integrity of the piece and then it is created into a woman. The next destruction is the killing /slaying of the woman revealing a blood covered figure that emerges from the separated body. I then animated the pieces around the body to give a sense of bandaging up of the gash which puts an end to the blood, and from there bring in another element the hand which destroys the bandages. The next step is the hand falling off and leaving a hole in its place, and the hole sucks everything up and becomes a dot. This dot is represented as a point because I totally missed the point of this assignment. But as that destroys the integrity of the piece by not following in a direction laid out by the teacher, I moved the dot/point to a different room where all my work was laid out in a composition missing its point and I added it.

Abstract Paintings




Black and White Project



This Project was to represent the form only using black and white. Executing the form required the ability to pick apart shadows made by one light source. 

I choose deviate from the assignment to add other aspects of what I felt. Mainly my choices were to convey identity or lack of it. Shadows create city-lines which also are represented in the shadows, so do the shadows make up the city or are the cities down in the shadows?

Also the Hands are positioned to manipulate the audience, on the left hand side the bottom hand draws you in, while the top hand on the right keeps you in/manipulates you.
