Artist Statement - 

For this piece I wanted to capture the feeling of an art gallery back home that I volunteer at. This space is very intimate and personal. Each work of art is positioned very close to one another throughout the gallery. When standing in one corner of the gallery, one is able to clearly see the entire rest of the space with ease. This is a cozy place that contains many mutually toned colors with the occasional pop of color provided by a piece of work. 

I chose to make this particular space out of paper for the intentions of creating a structured, non-organic flow of the place. Since the space I am demonstrating is an art gallery, there are many similarly shaped structures and layout of the building. I origami folded 16 boxes all mutually colored to give this space a calming flow. The boxes represent the wall space inside of the gallery. Each wall space is constantly changing pieces in which it holds, so the different colors represent the newness and freshness of each piece. Always keeping it interesting. The 3 folded sheets of paper represent the massive rugs that are in the gallery. The rugs give the gallery the intimate feel by taking up a massive amount of space, making one feel more comfortable in the gallery rather than how galleries normally feel. The colored paper backing is to represent the amount of light that enters the building. The pink and yellow side is where the entrance is, so it is well lit up by the natural sunlight. As you move towards the back of the gallery, shadows form, making this space less accessible to sunlight.

The harder I work and more effort I put into my workouts, I love to see how my body changes and evolves into a better me.  Halie McConnell "The souvenir exists as a sample of the now distant experience, an experience which the object can only evoke and resinate" This is a photograph of my uncle, aunt, cousins, and I. It is one of those pictures the workers take of you when entering the park. I love to look back at this "souvenir" to remind me of the great memories I made that night.  Halie McConnell "The souvenir reduces the public, monumental, and 3-D into the miniature, that which can be enveloped by the body" Surfing is a great pleasure of mine. My friend Jordan and I go surfing between classes if the waves are good. This is a special memory for me because it's just her and I and the se...

Blake

Blake My poor Blake Seeing you in this hospital getting pricked and prodded The blank stare of confusion all over your little face I’m sitting in the waiting room hoping this is just all fake My poor Blake Seeing you covered in black and blue bruises The gums completely devouring your teeth I’m smiling through the pain and tears telling you it’s all okay My poor Blake Seeing your mom having to flush out the picc line in your arm    The medicine completely swelling your face I’m turning to God asking why such a vicious disease he must make My poor Blake Seeing your most precious years of life go to waste The pain and discomfort you are having to endure I’m far away at college and can’t be there for you… Sobbing, I'm whispering all I can say... My poor poor Blake "Most people going into the hospital for an operation focus completely on their pain and suffering, whereas soldiers or saints and other martyrs can think about ...
