  I started by looking at different small spaces which led me to take pictures in a drawer filled with these little animal figurines and a lighter so I thought first what if I put the lighter in the fireplace and take a photo.  Then I started taking photos of the little animal figurines looking at how their small sizes looked in different spaces around the house. I was going to take them on an adventure but didn't go out this weekend.  I started in the library with an up-close photo and then a zoomed-out photo highlighting the small size of the figurines.                                                                                                                       then o...

  Kayla Bauer took a gap between her undergrad and grad school which I found interesting because it shows it’s never too late to continue your education. The first project she discussed was Isn’t It Cute which she described as a celebration of anything cute and pink. This shows her personality and style as an artist with cutesy pink influences present throughout most of her work. Her work is heavily influenced by Japanese pop culture. For her grad school projects, she wanted to go to Japan however, she did not have the means to at the time so decided to go to San Francisco because of its Japanese American population. Where she utilized walking as an art practice walking 10-12 miles a day and taking photos of the surrounding area. This habitual process is a good way of being consistent in your creativity, something I struggle with. She also used painting and other creative outlets to relieve pressure on your main artistic projects. I enjoy her combining her passions (photography, pi...

  When approaching this project I had a hard time figuring out how I wanted to look at space. I thought about lying on the floor and taking pictures under my desk, or climbing somewhere up high and taking a picture down. But then I decided to just take a photo walk and just take pictures of what I saw. Most of the pictures were either in Colman or at my job because it was way too cold for me to walk around campus looking for shots I barely left my room admittedly. As I was walking through City Park with all the snow it felt like a blank canvas with all of the white same with some of the cabinets I saw. Plus I was playing with the .5x on my iPhone just zooming out in a perspective I rarely shoot in because it’s allowing me to look at spaces in a different POV. Plus looking at my dorm as a space that I decorated but have room to continue to add to. I feel like I just walked around and took pictures of things I look at pretty every day while also potential places for me to place an in...

When I was thinking about what objects to pick for this project I struggled to pick something. I have a lot of random miscellaneous things littering my room I also even thought about going for a walk and picking up things off the ground that caught my eye. But I decided on 3 different projects that are all at different stages. Starting at the top left I had the idea to take pictures of Appleton with black and white Polaroid film but then none of the pictures came through which was really disappointing so now I have like 6 empty or smudgy photos just lying around my room. Then I started working on this denim sewing project but right now it's at an early stage of sketching and so I have like 4 pairs of jeans I've cut up to repurpose. So it is still early in development with a lot of potential.  Finally, I shot this roll of film over a couple months, and funny enough I have no idea what's on it at this point. I shot each shot but now that it has been a while I literally can...
