folded
Friday, December 9, 2011
My Senior Art Thesis is now complete! I can say that this is the longest I've spent working on one single project. And I loved doing it. Of course there were times near the end of folding all the triangles, that I thought, is this possible to complete? But I especially liked getting away from working digitally to working more with my hands. Through this process, I've learned that I need to do more physical work and take breaks from my computer more often. I'm hoping this won't be my last piece.
Folded was created as a requirement for graduation. It was on exhibit this past week at my school's Art Gallery. I began the piece by collecting paper. I used all found paper - paper that was given to me, paper I had collected over time, paper from old artworks, paper bags, or paper I bought from old bookstores (I love paper!). I then cut down the paper to 4" x 4" squares. From there I proceeded to fold and glue each into their three-dimensional form. After I had the triangles folded, I counted and mapped out the color pattern. And finally began gluing them all together. In the end the piece has about 3,500 triangles and is about 12 x 13'.
My artist statement:
It's fascinating working with a medium in which a new tactile experience is explored.
A medium that is often regarded as common, but has also created strong connections with its viewers.
Each has a story to tell, from old maps to smaller paper remnants.
These have been taken from their discarded state and folded three-dimensionally to further their transformation.
A transformation that finds order in its details.
A transformation into something beautiful.

Here's a quick sneak peek of my show! It's finally up! It took the majority of the weekend to install, but I'm so thankful for all my amazing family and friends for helping out. I'm already not looking forward to having to take it down! Planning what I will do with it next.
Now, back to normal life again!
I'll share more pictures later!

I will be back friends, I promise! Get excited, because once my show is done ( next week! ), I'll be working full time freelancing -- so lots of inspiration and work will be shared!

Two Weeks
Monday, November 21, 2011
Lately I've been tweeting, blogging and instagraming lots of things about this project. And I've been quite vague about it. But it's for my Undergrad Senior Art Show (a requirement for graduation). I've been working on this project since last semester and physically working on it almost everyday since August. I'm so excited for it to all come together. And it's almost here. The show opening is two weeks from today and I'm super excited / nervous / stressed about it. Mostly excited of course! So make sure to follow updates as I'm sure I'll be tweeting about it as it comes together - and be sure to check back when it's all complete!
