The Object as The Portrait

Here are a few images from my Non-Silver Final Project, with a few sentences about it.

I photogrammed glasses repeatedly for the entire semester and reached a point where the glasses became the portraits of those who have owned them, they take on their own personality, and should be treated as the faces and voices of the owners.

Expired Polaroid Transfers

Two Polaroid transfers I made in class the other day. From slides given to me by my grandparents.

George Washington Bridge - slide to transfer

The Statue of Liberty - slide to transfer.

Both transfer made with polaroid peel apart pack film that is assumed to be expired. My professor looked at it and made a "this is expired but we'll see happens" noise.

It feels good to update. Sorry for the wait.

Home Again, Home Again..

I'm trying to get back into Polaroids. I want to take more photographs this semester. I'm trying to get an internship for next summer.

Here's an old image:

3-Dimensional Design Final

This is a photograph of what is supposed to be a "body sculpture".  Originally it was supposed to have a ritual attached to it, why it exists, what it is used for...but I think now that it's crossed over through development into more of an "other" category. In the literary sense, that this sculpture that I have to wear represents my "other" in despair. Kind of demure and maybe even juvenile.. but very much how I feel about recent events in my life.

The sculpture is confining and limiting, it keeps you blind...blah blah blah.

Another picture to match the first one, from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

I like how long this shot feels, and the real busyness it conveys.

I hope you feel the same?

that's the news..

I'm having an art show tonight in Downtown Albany.

295 State Street

Exhibit at the Met, NYC '08.
