Bananas and Alarm Clocks (ABD)

Here we go. This project was about context. Enjoy.

This one is called "Cokanana"

The one on the left is "grilled banana" Anybody hungry?

1. A Mark Jenkin-esque dummy in the library

This mainly had to do with calling attention to an instance by placing something that isn't usually part of the context of the library, making people stop and look at something unusual and out of place.

2. A small living room in a post office box

This played on the idea of security and our ongoing heightened paranoia, as well as the idea that we live in little boxes that all look the same.

3. Money down the drain

This is a drain on the side of the student union that has money pouring out of it, meant to evoke the idea that money is being wasted. The dollars have a complaint about the school or a school related program written on them, meant to narrow down what needs work so there can be improvement and less tuition money wasted.

Pulse Project: Commentary

For this pulse project I wanted to do something simple, light-hearted, yet evoke thought from those who view my piece. I chose what I call the "drug trail" behind Coltrane where there is human traffic and an abundance of nature.  I purposely left the speech bubbles and thought bubble blank for viewers to interject their own ideas and commentary into them.  My intention was to illuminate the living environment and what they would say if they were verbally communicating organisms. What do you think they would say?

Part Three: Childhood Favorites

This part was in the one of the hallways of my dorm, and you could see it on the floor as you walked in. It was supposed to be an interactive type of piece, but unfortunately not too many people came through that door. It was contextual because the left most piece of paper had to do with TV shows, and if you walked left, you could walk into the TV/lounge area. If you walked right and saw the paper about Snacks, you could walk into the kitchen/dining area. If you walked straight and saw the Activity paper, you could continue to walk straight until you ran into another hallway to go into your specific dorm.

Part Two: The Gift of Life

This part had to do with the gift of life we receive with trees and how we take them for granted. A big red bow is usually associated with something like a new car, but the fact that they are placed on these dying trees says something really simple. I particularly like the first shot, because I found a bird's nest in one of the trees, and that added a lot to the idea of the "Gift of Life."

Part One: Rapture.

I called this Rapture for many reasons.

The clothes leading up the staircase really leave you hanging...

America's Conflicting Obsession Over Weight Loss and Junk Food

So for my art-context project, I ventured to Walmart for some of the shots and McDonald's for others. I was inspired by the way Americans are both obsessed with body image as well as junk food and portion sizes. By placing "healthy" foods or habits with typically unhealthy foods or habits, I thought I could create some interesting visuals.

I walked through Walmart picking out both unhealthy and healthy things, placing them in my shopping cart. I wandered around Walmart for probably a couple hours before they noticed me at all.
