PROJECT BLURB


I intend to make a series of copperplate etchings that expand on the idea of cultural aesthetics and habits as well as the efficient or inefficient use of resources and how this relates to the use of time. I plan to carry this out by collecting imagery from modern primitive, past primitive as well as modern and past developed cultures to create a hybrid culture. The imagery will be rendered using obviously time intensive patterns that will be collected from varied found textiles or other displays of excessive decoration of useful objects. The patterns will build the figures which will be involved in a greater pattern, as I will print a great deal of the same image to utilize repetition as an aesthetic device. I also plan to make several large scale drawings of singular characters from the hybrid culture to make the works as a whole more relatable as the viewer can more easily connect to something life-sized. Additionally, I will be working on a hybrid language heavy with alliteration that will hopefully be largely unspeakable, a composition of readable sounds. These sounds will be printed in colored ink on the same color of paper, so they are both unreadable and mostly invisible.
