Constructions: An Investigation into Childhood From a Perspective of Loss (open access)

Constructions: An Investigation into Childhood From a Perspective of Loss

The interaction of the construction and the images was the focus of my proposed exploration. Previously, I viewed the images as the vehicle for content with little thought to the construction. I thought of the construction as a painter might think of his or her canvas, a place for the images to reside. The relationship between constructions as part of my content is essential. Exploration of form and image will push the limits of how the images and constructions may interact. Now that I was conscious of the construction being included in the content, I wanted to discover how the ideation process would change. I was also hoping to determine how the imagery would be affected by the redirection of my decision making process concerning the construction as part of the content.

Patterns and Evolution (open access)

Patterns and Evolution

My interest in the patterns of nature and culture has led me on a long journey through studies of math, sciences, and religions culminating in my current studies in art. Continuing my inquiry into processes of human perception and conception of time. My intention was to incorporate the "process" aspect of the printmaking medium into the final work by creating hybrid works that would take the "print" out of its traditional two-dimensional form. Finally, I planned to utilize the "multiple" aspect of printmaking to address ideas of patterns and evolution.

The Sculptural Book: An Exploration of Form in Conjunction With the Elements of Design (open access)

The Sculptural Book: An Exploration of Form in Conjunction With the Elements of Design

My premise was the marriage of two forms, book and sculpture. My goal was to determine if these two unique types of work could be joined as one. In each oth the proposed works, I focused on an element of design as well as the challenges present when works are produced for a particular space (the Cora Stafford Gallery).

Sources and Vestiges (open access)

Sources and Vestiges

I have suggested that the ornamental element employed in my painting functions as historical, cultural and social text, and also as a carrier of ideas and ideals about beauty and art which have been invalidated by the Modernist view. I will explore how the elements of painting: material, paint application, palette, figure/ground relationship, scale and other formal and technical factors, combine and interact to transform, contradict, subvert or negate the ornamental element in the painting; and how in turn these combinations effect the way the paintings function both formally and in terms of content.

Space and the Unexpected (open access)

Space and the Unexpected

I intend to explore various canvas sizes and many formal issues, focusing on space and the application of paint are paramount in my work. I used closely cropped photographs to aid in this study and my exploration addressed the following questions: 1) How does the speed of execution affect the spontaneity and authority of the piece? 2) How important is the unexpected for the success of my painting in regards to formal issues?
