Spatial Map


                                      Title: Par-tee Time(golf course aerial view)  

                                               Materials: Wood, Pastels and Ink.
                                            
                                This Spatial map is supposed to be representing an aerial view of a golf course I grew up on up north. The piece is square to show the amount of space I was allowed to use in our back yard. My brother and I were not allowed to go on the golf course during the day. The piece is colorful to represent the colorful childhood I had. This house will always be a sentimental place for me, full of memories galore and old friendships I had to leave to start a new chapter in my life in Florida for college. The yellow represents the sun. The blue represents our house and the water. The green represents the grass. The red represents the flags and the white represents the golf balls. The circles emphasize the movement of what the golf course looks like as an aerial view as well as living in a cul-de-sac. In the center of the circles are holes. These represent where the flags would go in the golf course. Not having flags, makes the piece complete the idea that I do not feel complete until I am home. I have many chapters(flags) to venture through in life that I have not gotten to yet. The piece is layered to express how complex life can be but also how rewarding it is because it builds on something worth while. The background was splashed with different colors of ink to betray the decisions we make in life are permanent and we can only learn from them.

The purpose of taking pictures of various individuals and focusing on their hair, ethnicity and personality, is so one can establish the fact that individuals are different and they are defined by different cultures, but they can be similar. For humans can identify with certain groups and cultures. However, some things are universal. Human suffering and human empathy is universal. Love is a universal concept that never changes, no matter what generation gap there is or how different people may be from one another. We all have the same want...

Memento

                                    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. I did not see the humor in that. Some individuals stereotype learning disabilities by associating them as the same thing as having down syndrome, being in a wheel chair, or h...
