Print making can bring the feeling of being backwards. I

 The idea of being invisible with no voice I believe can be seen.  I am considering Gold Leaf and French Poshware on these pieces 

Beauty what is beautiful

 Beauty in a political aspect to some people exists but,  to me personally I feel beauty is to every one a very different thing. I believe as an artist and a human being that beauty stems from culture heritage and environment.  I think we can see this in many different cultures an through heritage of different peoples. Tattoo art is an example  to considered beautiful in todays society but fifty years ago it was considered improper or unacceptable. In my opinion beauty is subjective just like art.   

Reading Poetry and John The Book maker

 Poetry and pottery  are a lot alike. in the way they both have a musical flow. The water in pottery creates a rhythm. The from a rhythm to  a spin and the clay and your hands through muscle memory IN tandem create. The words in poetry flow in the same unison with the paper to create the work.    I think that John the book maker shows his flow and his creativity in hand making books .  I relate to him through making pottery there is a connection. 

Uncomfortable coming together

New work Last term I made pieces that incorporated bees and  wasp. I am taking that a step further and creating an installation. I want to make people feel uncomfortable when they see my pieces or walk through the space I am creating. These two depictions of humanoid forms I created last term. I decided to take these and turn them into clay pieces and build an installation to support my idea of making people feel uncomfortable in a space. I took these head forms from last year and turned them into 3d images and I am building an installation.   These will take a while but I am on my way.
