Finals

Well, here are the last versions of some of my pieces this semester. I didn't manage to get good shots of all of them. I also haven't taken photographs of all my drawings, and I dont have any photos of my prints. I'll try to get those up over the coming weeks.



These first two I'm entering in a student show in January.







This next one has been through a lot of changes.... still struggling... I can't quite see where it should go.









This is the same blue one in pervious posts that has changed dramatically..... I think I'm abandoning this one.






Adirondack series in drawing.





This is my final drawing- it's 38" by 100". The theme is still playing upon the paradoxes of the Adirondack culture, but this one specifically talk about park borders. In the white space to the left, it says in relief "you are now leaving the adirondack state park". The blue line dividing that space from the rest of the drawing refers to the "Blue line". When they were drawing up the charter for the park, officials where drawing the park border on a map in a blue line, so that the park border began to be refered to as the "Blue line". The rest of the scene shows a modern adirondack park, the human presence now having a common place, but the main point is that humans place arbitrary boundaries on nature.

Also Drawing

Also, here are some of my recent drawings which comment on the paradox of the Adirondack "culture" if you will.





















And this is Grady, Trish Lyell's (my professor) dog that faithfully follows me around all the time because I give him treats whenever he asks for them. He's adorable, clearly.

End of the Semester




Better late than never!!!! Here is my recent work. Work that I have been producing in painting from this semester. My concentration is in painting, but I'm also drawing and printmaking. The paintings I'm showing now are the direction that I will be exploring for my senior thesis (which I will tell you about later) There are two more to post, and I consider them all in progress, the first one here is only 2 days old.
Expect the color to be off. ugh.
