Artist statement: For this assignment, I really wanted to focus on texture, color, and pattern. For the first two images, I used carefully aligned T-shirts. The next in the set is simply made up of folder dividers that I stacked on each other. The first "surrealist" piece was made up of different lids I found around my house. The next was made up of different vitamins and pills in the red shade. Finally, I used "beat up" everyday items for the last one: used sandpaper, a scotch-brite pad, an old envelope, and a crumpled up paper bag. I wanted to explore geometric shapes (circles, rectangles, squares) yet still make the pieces have a somewhat organic feel to them - most of the shapes are slightly imperfect.
