Mask Artist Statement

I began this project by just looking at Islamic artistic patterns from the Masonic Temple Oriental Hall and historical examples. I then used some of the examples I found to create a new design piece, but after I finished I realized it looked like a mask so I went with that. I then experimented with the color palette from the masonic room and incorporated it into the mask and later background design.

Gradation Project Artist’s Statement

My project doesn’t have any underlying meanings behind it as I had wanted to make something that would be fun for me and the viewer. I was inspired to do a project like this based on a previous work I had done which followed a similar style another inspiration was this Simpson’s puzzle i remember having which contained every character in the show packed into one setting( both are shown below). In order to display the gradient I filled in each of the many characters with their own solid color that shifted between each to convey a gradient, and imported scanned images of several objects to place in the space to start the gradation and be involved with the characters.

The first image is in the CMYK color format while the second is RGB, and the colors between them are different because each format has its own Gamut which holds the range of possible colors within them which are different for each.
