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.
                                       
                       

Transparent



                         For the transparent pieces, I wanted to respond to images that I found
                     of my mother and I. By taking transparent paper, I was able to control what
             I wanted the images to look like. The one of just my mother I changed her hair and
                        shirt color. For the image of me as a baby, I created a comical photo.

Wood


                           My intentions were to create an abstract ocean piece.
                           By cutting the wood it created chaos for the viewers eyes
                           but gave them a reality of the ocean. The abstract lines give
                           the piece movement.

Cardboard

                            My theme for the cardboard pieces was to be resourceful,
                           the cardboard I had cut was used to create abstract lines using
                           complimentary colors. The remaining pieces were used to create
                           abstract shapes.

Tape










My overall intentions were to give the viewer's a sense of time. The stages of a tree
are based over a long period of time and are usually taken for granted. In the mature 
stage of the tree the shadows accent that it is in full blossom. At the end of its life span,
the tree is left with nothing but a few leaves.
