Project 1: Multi-Faceted Self

Pre-Project Research Questions:
  • Who are you and how does your artistic practice reflect that identity? 
    • I am a gay man, a lover of animals, nature, and travel.
    • My art is truly how I express myself. Everything I love is put into my artwork and they all carry a common trait and style throughout. 
  • How does your presence on social media reflect that identity? 
    • I do not use social media a whole bunch, but I do enjoy looking at others for inspiration in art, fashion, and travel.
  • How do your friends reflect that identity? 
    • My friends and family are everything to me. I keep my circle very small, and get super close to them. I enjoy spending time with people and just talking and learning about their live experiences and hobbies.
  • How do your values reflect that identity?
    • My values are very personal, and often differ from those around me. I stick to what I've worked so hard to believe in and that's one thing I am not going to change.
  • Is there a difference between your internal and external self?
    • 100%, I feel that I act the way that i feel inside, I definitely do not hide my emotions very well. But, I do feel that I do not look the way I feel inside, and that's a battle I've dealt with for a long time.
  • How do you present an image that communicates your personality?
    • I would illustrate my personal interests, fashions, and beliefs in all of my artworks/ images. I would present it to my friends and family and maybe social media depending on if I like it or not..

Project 2: Site Specific Vinyl Decal This decal was installed on the glass window of the back door in my high school art room. The door leads out to the court yard where I spend a lot of time in high school. The decal is a phrase often stated by my high school art teacher as she’d walk around the room reminding us to push contrast in our artworks.

Collecting the Internet: What will you collect?      I chose to make a collection inspired by all of the green witchy items that I own. How many images will you use?      I chose to do seven objects, just because seven is a lucky number.   Where will you source your images?     I will get all of my images off of google images. Why did you choose to collect what you did?      Earlier today, I took a picture looking out of my dorm room window with all of my plants and things in it, which inspired me to chose the color green as an overall parameter. The other elements like the crystals and the moth came after choosing the plants.
