When I realized that I was going make a project with Izzy's pictures I knew that I needed a lot of plants and a lot of green. I had to make the plant stencils myself. Izzy's face is a big monstera leaf to me and I hope I showed that well. I loved the process of making this piece and learned things and trying new things. This piece is what changed this year for me. I didn't want to just take pictures anymore and this piece made me come to terms with it.

A Piece About Giorgio

Mixed Media/Instant Film

Fall/Winter, 2018

Advanced Visual Studies

​

This piece took several months to finish, or well to come to a place where I felt good about. This piece is for Giorgio about Giorgio. For a long time I've been wanting to do something about him, something more than just a photo. These are the faces of George Hicks through the worst but somehow it was still the best. These are the faces of the man I love during the time when we realized how important it is to stay with each other and be there for each other.

Summer 2017

Not a class project

 

I feel like this is the best that I will ever get and that's sad but this is cool. This piece has been with me through so much. This was the least thought out picture I've ever taken but also the one that has gotten the most praise. The original picture was already good but when I saw this picture in black & white that just completed it for me, it was what it needed. I ended up giving my aunt, Benji's mom, a big print of it and she framed it and actually hung it in her house. This was the first time any of my work was actually hanging somewhere, and it felt good to be honest. This picture was never turned in as a project that's why I'm here 2 years later writing an artist statement.
