When I Grow Up

Watercolor

This piece represents two careers I have wanted to pursue throughout my life. In short, the two things I’ve wanted to be “when I grow up,”an astronaut or an art teacher. I chose to make the doll based off a recent full-length photo of myself in o

rder to make this piece more personal and true to my own aspirations. The doll’s outfits are not complete; The complete outfit would show the salary of a male worker. I chose to depict the percentage of income a woman in that particular career field would make, in comparison to a man.

Honey (2012-2015)
photographs

This piece of art shows a series of images I have beginning in 2011, during my my senior year of high school, until the most recent image, taken in December 2015. The images are unified through the use of a common gold color, and a hexagonal shape. Although the images vary in content, from pets, to plants, to polaroid photos, I chose these particular photos because each of them is linked with a particularly strong feeling and vivid memory. Some are more negative, such as the photograph that shows a friendship I ruined. Some are more positive, such as the image that shows the birthday cake I received on my 20th birthday. All the images, however, represent an experience that is truly unique to me. When combined, they form a piece that displays the most remarkable ocuurances I’ve had over the past four years, and represent my feeling towards the experience as a whole.
