                                    Title: The Perks of Being a Diamond In The Rough                                         Materials: wood and Paint(black and white)                                                               My memento piece is about learning disabilities. My mother was a third grade special education teacher. My memory for the memento is when I was growing up I would get annoyed when I would hear students make fun of those who had speech impediments.

The stair like structure is a combination of different sections of stair-like-structures placed on top of each other. The stairs were glued together and stacked. Ink or glue was poured onto these pieces. Having these stair-like-structures arranged as so makes for a fresh perspective and new meaning to how one perceives movement in a space. The stairs remain in place but they twist and have a topsy turvy feel to the shape they take on as one piece staked. Title: Disco Inferno Principle of Design: balance using repetition. Materials: m

Title: Call Me Artsy Sentence 1: "The body is the primary mode of perceiving scale"(Susan Stewart). Photo Credit: Nfocusphotos, the photographer is Nick Porcaro. Artist Statement: I choose this image(of me holding a phone) because the quote mentioned scale. My body is near the phone and this photo depicts the relationship of scale well.
