This week, I spent time in the studio and at my internship due to the extreme weather we experienced. I received a particular book that I am excited to look through, titled Tilings and Patterns. For my lesson for Allison’s class at Clara Barton Open School, I am looking at incorporating collage and patterning onto tiles, and feel that this book will be a top resource for working through some ideas.
I spent time working on a particular project for one of my studio courses, Site / Non-Site, in which I am planning on projecting found and edited archived footage onto a building near my apartment. During the cold, I was researching and finding several clips to use for editing. I am also working on an installation for my Casting and Mixed Media course, in which I am planning to cast some smaller glassware that my sister owned a version of when we were growing up.
With my group gallery show approaching, I have been sifting through and editing several photos that I am interested in displaying, and will be preparing the space alongside my peers this upcoming week; along with spending time at both Barton and CAFAC. I am planning on printing and framing my photos earlier in the week and am looking forward to seeing them in the space, and celebrating the hard work my peers and I have dedicated for this show. This week I will also be developing my two studio projects and gathering several materials to move forward with those ideas. I am also dedicating some time to researching materials for my ideas for the lesson at Barton, including some old magazines and testing applying these onto tiles. I am looking forward to speaking with Allison and Lynda to hear about their ideas about this project as well.
