Final Piece
I truly could not have done this without the detection of our teachers, willingness of the staff at school, and the help from my peers. I have had many people say to me, "I never thought you would make something out of it." The students in senior studio have created a family, especially (our "room") Maggie, Margeaux, Danny, Matheus, and Tyler. Our studio time will always be remembered.
Final Post
The end is here and I could not be more proud of the work that has come to life during the last two terms of senior studio. The art work itself is incredible but more than that is the stories that come behind the physical piece. It is very rare that you can stare at a piece of art and know and have witnessed that intense work that went into making the art a reality. I think that is the final note I would like to leave on. That even more than the truly riveting creative work that was made, there is a team of people, a bond, a group of stories that are unlike any other. Senior Studio Class 2013.
12 Days
We are heading to the deadline, and quickly. There are 12 more days until the opening of the gallery at Beaver Country Day School. 12 days left to create for this show! Lets get popping. Below are some of the earlier stages of my final piece. Stay tunned for more.

Art + Fear
Perfection floods our everyday lives. Photoshopped blondes are perched on magazine covers, athletes pumped full of steroids race toward success, politicians with painted on smiles plead for our votes, and bubbly actresses steal our hearts as they play free spirit characters. Perfection is advertised to humans as a necessity although the term, the space, the goal, is ambiguous and opinionated. Despite all of this, for myself, I try to reach whatever perfection is in my art work.

Research Assignment
Segment: El Anatsui in "Change"
El Anatsui's work is intricately beautiful. The work I researched is made of thousands of found metals, like bottle caps, strung together to create a fabric like tapestry. I definitely identify with El Anatsui's work the most. His life growing up and his story does not run parallel to mine, however his passion and push to create something meaningful, something different, that we share. I think of this concept of change constantly. To me everything around me is changing. The leaves always fall, our hair grows longer, our tempers shorter, then longer, then shorter again, people always leave, and love will always evolve to something new. In senior studio, my ideas have been changing since I started. From paper clips to wire to chains to and back, everything has added to the madness and help me in the process.
I chose Mallika Sarabhai: Dance to change the world. I chose this because of the word change, but the story turned out to be so much more.
Mallika Sarabhai started the talk by acting out a ancient Hindu story about injustice. She talked about a women being raped and how in countries around the world, we have become subservient to the higher power. She spoke about how it is art that in the language that connects people together. At first I thought that this did not connect with my theme closely, but as I watched more, I saw that it actually depicts exactly my mentality. There are important issues world wide happening that sise to be talked about. Through art and dance and forms of expressing is where the message emerges.
To me this represents change. People, probably random strangers, looking art beautiful art, feeding the world conversation.
I have a learning disability; one that I have been able to work with and even benefit from creatively. The world we live in has strong stereotypes to many ways of "categorization", and its barriers like those that I hope to get people talking about through art.
Art21 - Matthew Ritchie
I loved watching about Matthew Ritchie and his architectural art. His creations were intricate and almost confusing at times, but that was my favorite part. I focused on his piece "Morning Line" which is a large black structure. One thing I found very interesting that Matthew Ritchie said was about the change of attitude from ones audience when art is in a gallery vs art being outside. Viewers act differently around the art and see this pieces differently as well. This was important to me because I hope to have my art in a larger space than just a gallery. I definitely recommend looking into his art work!

Week Six
This past week, I jetted off to France for a synchronized ice skating competition. The country has so much tradition, history, and beauty. Perfect for inspiration! We had very little time away from our training and competition but in the little time we did have, I admired the architecture of the streets we so quickly floated through. Although I didn't take my art work with me, I was constantly trying to soak in the art hiding behind each corner. Now that I am back. I am in high gear and full of motive. Stay tuned for updates on my current project!
