New York City Map is a Fetus

October 22, 2006

I responded to an art magazine's open call this weekend - they wanted some illustrations, and one of their prompts is to creatively represent a map of New York City with some random locations. After some thought, I decided to draw a fetus cradled by its mother in a swimming pool, next to Staten Island - another swimmer.

The drawing measures 32" x 42"...took a while. Impossible to scan, which explains where my entire Sunday went.

2 Panel Painting

September 25, 2006

During the summer, Utrecht had a canvas sale. I bought two 30'x40''s and had an idea to link together two side-by-side panels through continued lines and repeating shapes and colors. However, I wanted the theme of each panel to be contrastive. I painted the first panel four weeks ago, and finally finished the second one this past Sunday.

Since the two panels are supposed to work side-by-side...click here to see that.

Web of Free Associations

September 19, 2006

Last Thursday, we were given the assignment by Bill Seaman (our Department Chair and professor) to create a web of free associations, stemmed from a few initial words that sparked our interests. We were supposed to then bridge these words with bridging words on an arbitrary basis, as to instigate ourselves to link matters with very little superficial connections. Then we were supposed to present this work visually. So I did this in Illustrator and then printed it out on satin photo paper, measuring approx. 27x20.
