Redo/Undo (Side-by-Side)
I couldn’t put them side by side because one is a video and the other is a sculpture. The original project is a video about how people cut down trees for their own greed, destroying the wildlife. The redo is the sculpture with a similar message. The sculpture has dots made with my own fingerprints to show the contamination humans leave behind in nature.

Self-Directed Practice #5: Redo/Undo
Materials: Branches; pink flowers; newspaper; cardboard; fake birds; black paint
Dimensions: Unknown
Title: Pain
This project was a redo on the fourth project with the coat rack. It is how humans tear down things in nature to make pretty things. The flowers that are dying show how humans kill things and try to hide it by adding more like the flowers that seem more alive. The branches are forced together with string and glue kind of how humans try to force things to work for them but it doesn't always work out and could make things worse and make it ugly. The newspaper shows current events such as political problems and the black paint are finger prints to show how humans contaminate nature. I called the piece pain because of the fact that I had to cut flowers and hot glue them to branches and I wondered if they could feel pain when I did that.

Self-Directed Practice #4: Immaterial Processes and Elements
Title: Tree
Dimensions unknown
Materials: Coat rack; artificial flower vines; artificial birds and paper birds; clock; sweater; purses; hats; wildlife sounds; chainsaw sounds; falling tree sounds.
This piece was supposed to be telling a story on deforestation. It is how humans tear down trees to make things for themselves out of greed. The pictures and fake birds symbolize what the coat rack used to house before it held things like bags and hats and after it is in the house, the birds and vines show how the wildlife is now just a memory. Without the imagery, the sounds still tell a story because you can hear the birds and then the sound stops ones you hear the chainsaw and tree fall, then all you here is cash register noises and people, showing through sound that the wildlife is gone and now it is owned by humans.

Self-Directed Practice #3: Under the InfluenceUntitled.
The material I used was acrylic paint and 8lb paper.
dimensions: 18in. x 24in.
This painting was under the influence of Yayoi Kusama. I decided to do a 2D medium because it is what I prefer to work on. I decided to go for a surreal, almost psychedelic feel with my painting because I love using surreal themes and Kusama also uses surrealism in her work. Kusama also has a psychedelic feel to her work so the piece I made is heavily influenced by her. This picture depicts trees that are twisted that seem to be dancing for the moon, seeming like they’re almost worshipping it. The dots are supposed to show obliteration, which is a constant theme with Kusama. The dots show how this moment with the trees is only but a moment that will eventually end and be obliterated, becoming nothing.

10# Associative: It looked to me when I put it there as if someone left the drawing and was either coming back or forgot about it, and the drawing waits for its creator. I thought that it also went well with the natural environment in the background. I like the idea that the drawing is waiting for someone to sit next to it.

materials: self-portrait; bench; landscape

#9 Associative: It’s as if someone is dying and they needed donations to save them, or maybe it’s a starving artist asking for donations, or someone did die and they are asking for contributions for the family. These are the stories a thought of when I took this picture. I think it goes well with the environment. I like that this picture can tell you different narratives of what might be going on.

#8 Associative: Since it looks like a frame, I treated it like a frame and put it with other pictures. The frames around my drawing also have pictures on them, helping frame the drawing in this situation. This makes it look like it is part of the store. There’s also a price tag where the drawing is, making it feel more like it is an object for sale. There were no people around the isle so I was not able to see their reaction to the piece.

Materials: self-portrait; miscellaneous picture frames

#7 Associative: In most stores, frames have pictures and my drawing board in a way is a frame, so it made sense having my portrait in there as if it was part of the store and someone chose to buy the frame it was in. Putting the portrait in the shopping cart made it seem like it had been part of the store and was put for sale. I like the concept of someone enjoying my art enough to buy it someday.

#6 associative: this was an idea I had early on because when it comes to being an artist, most of us at some point feel that our work is trash and just want to give up. I sure some students have thrown some of their work before. We should keep our work for future reference to see how much we have improved later on. When it is in the trash and a bit bent, the picture kind of looks like it is frowning.

#5 Contradictory: another place that’s supposed to be a work environment but it looks like someone is worshipping a portrait in a candle isle. If you look closely, the candle at the head has a saint on it. I did this one after the church adventure so the candle idea came to me because of where I was. I also thought that this was another good metaphor for vanity. This kind of thing would also freak out customers because they would not be used to seeing it.

#4 Contradictory: It’s supposed to be a work environment where it’s supposed to be serious and strict with rules but you have a drawing takes your order. I was just thinking that this is where I work and I thought it belonged there but didn’t at the same time. This picture is actually against company policy.

#3 Contradictory: You wouldn’t put a drawing in a fish tank! So I put my drawing in a fish tank! That’s why I did it. Luckily, it was drained. A drawing wouldn’t make a good accessory for a fish tank since it would get soggy. Again, this is a humorous piece. I liked the idea of putting the drawing as a background for the fish tank, which people wouldn’t use. People usually use backgrounds of water or seaweed as backgrounds for fish tanks.
