here are some photos of my work from fall reviews (just below is my artist statement).
hear
these are the three macbook pros that were powering my audio. unfortunately, i ran into a few technical difficulties and learned that mp3 players by themselves do not emit enough power to be loud through my speakers. if i were to do this again, i’d probably get some amps.
touch
artist statement (a work in progress)
Language is, by definition, a systematic way of communicating through sounds or a series of symbols. We learn societal norms and culture through language. As a child I was born into many at once, including English, Mandarin, and Thai, with a dash of French thrown into the mix. In response I spoke very little throughout my childhood, to the point where my teacher recommended I take a speech development evaluation. Language became a barrier.
Hear is a soundscape that uses six hanging white spherical speakers which emit nonverbal human utterances. There are no actual words spoken, but rather a collection of sounds that act as communication. A tension is created between being connected and being simultaneously disconnected. Hear attempts to highlight the communication that happens between words and how humans interact with the proximity of sound in space.
Touch is an interactive installation in which a green arcade button placed on a pedestal is waiting to be pressed. If the viewer decides to push the button, a message appears discouraging the act of interaction. This creates a conflict between the person’s desire to push the button and the
installation’s otherwise.
i think i’ve been on a slight tshirt vinyl obsession lately but here goes some more tshirts that i’ve designed. thank you to liz and steven for helping me to press and weed the tshirts. i’m glad that we’ve finally found the trick to our heat press in the studio. it makes the tshirt vinyl stay way better than before.
i designed the logo for our bfa class, which we have entitled, ‘luminous deer.’
girls got the sangria and boys got the asphalt. however, all the tshirts had white vinyl lettering and antlers on them.
here are some pictures from my t-shirt workshop at the portland art museum. thank you to jillian punska and andrew parnell for helping me setup the workshop. it was a success! yay! the t-shirts came out beautifully.
there are just no words to describe this. i feel like a type geek.
