Maps

                          For my maps, I took two different approaches. For the top
                          image I layered paper, trying to capture a 3-d effect. For the
                          next image I tried to take a more simplistic approach for simple
                          directions. I took a single piece of wire and bent it in the directions
                          the participant was suppose to follow.

10 foot drawings

                        For my ten foot drawings, I took images that are interesting to me
                        and produced them on paper. They are simple pencil drawings that
                        represent my style and interests.

Thread

                               For the thread, I experimented with different styles and tried
                               to find something that worked for me. The response to the image
                               gives a comical feel and is playful. However the thread drawings
                               give a textural and dimensional feel. The image is popping off the
                                paper jumping in the viewers face.

Erase

                        My thought process for erasing, was to respond to photos.
                        By eliminating a portion of the photo it allowed you to focus
                        on the main subject. I wanted to have the main subject in the
                        center of the photo so the viewers eyes didn't wonder off the page.
                        I also included some eraser illustrations in the top photo.
                   
                         

Diagrams

                            On my diagrams, I portrayed old people complaining everyday
                   complaints. I came up with this idea because everyday people complain
                        constantly. I drew old people because all my life my grandparents have
                           complained. The two ideas I felt went hand-in-hand.

Wrapped

                         For the word "wrapped" I took bubble wrap and created
                         bubbles. I got my idea from playing with the words and
                         created a three dimensional colorful bubble scene. The bubbles
                         decrease in size from right to left showing time since the bubbles
                         were blown. The colors give the piece dimension and texture.
