Final Project- Frances

Leave a reply

 

These cards were all made from photographs taken by each individual. The choice of action/pose for the card was not dictated by me, but by each person on their own, sometimes with some assistance from me. The “facts” on the back are also the unadulterated answers from each individual. This project is meant to play with and question how we present ourselves in the world, how we distill a person’s identity, how so often it seems that friendships are presented as collector’s items, and finally for the sake of tending my nostalgia and how much I wish I could be with these people.

These cards will be printed, the project fulfilled will be one that is tactile, and I will sending sets of these “trading cards” to each individual who assisted me in the project.

For my final project I decided to combine my interest in photography and mixed media/collages. I made 5 different pieces that express the range of my emotions and feelings during this time. I think it is important to have something physical to represent this strange time and I am glad that I was able to attempt to communicate this period of COVID-19 through art. I used clippings from newspapers, magazines, and my own photographs to show a glimpse into my life at the moment. The pieces are meant to represent anger, confusion, and frustration yet also highlight the importance of hope and a positive mentality moving forward. I hope to continue to create works like this throughout the summer and experiment with more techniques to improve my pieces!

Thanks for a great semester & I hope everyone has a safe and happy summer.
