3 Random Objects

-




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't remember in the slightest what is on this toll of film. This could could be interpreted as some deep metaphor for temporality or something like that but honestly just shows my horrible memory. I did find it interesting how many different failed/incomplete projects were just chilling on my desk this project served as a reminder to finish my creative ideas.

    I love how your objects don't just mean what they are on the surface, and that they actually say more on the transitional phase of how your creative processes develop with time or how they can have the time to sit before you go back to them. Very thoughtful, 10/10 Post!

20 Objects and Space

  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 on the piano ... a chair...  a clock... then I randomly looked at the objects currently in the Harry Potter door and I found out the space was a bit bigger than I thought with a shelf inside the space.  Then I went back to placing the figurines around especially in smaller spaces . Overall I just was attemptin

10 RANDOM SPACES

  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 instal

Project Proposal

  For the final project, I came up with a few project ideas because I struggled with making one single definitive decision. I have them in order of how much I want to do them. Cyanotype Project- My top choice is creating large-scale cyanotypes with other prints that supplement the cyanotypes. I plan to experiment with the subject matter a bit. I also wanted to do the project in an environment where I could play with the lighting and also utilize sound to create a sensory environment. Also, most of the art I do is fairly small in size so this will allow me to create some larger pieces.                           Harry Potter Door- The second option that I am also interested in is filling the space under the stairs with a bunch of photos. Possibly of the house or people or anything. I also would like to involve sound and light in this project as well. The issue with this project was that it is off campus and I wanted my project to be viewed in person by not just the people in the class b
