Loser Does the Dishes

Several times in the past I have created my family portrait in the traditional sense using paints and drawing but, I wanted to take this opportunity and create a conceptual portrait of my family. It was tricky because we all are so different but the one thing that brings use together is our love to play games.

I had everyone sit down and I put a timer on of two minutes and told everyone to write down as many games that we played together that they could.

After I got the results I counted how many games we actually have which came to 126. Its funny looking at our answers because a lot of the games were repeated because those were the ones everyone had fond memories of but, the games that weren’t repeated where either because you were the best at that game or the worst.

I really enjoy how much these lists show my families essence as a whole, as well as each others individualism.

Portrait of a Tree

Lately, I’ve found my thoughts to be absorbed by the idea of life process, transformation, and aging. Regardless of how my image changes I hope to hang on to the unique traits that make me, me.

I found these pieces of wood that have been heavily processed to the point where they look nothing like their original form. Using a wood burner I found the slight remaining wood grain pattern on the pieces and made it visible again.

My hope for this piece is to show that throughout process and transformations we still stay the same in some ways.

Every Sunday, I cook enough food for a week. I enjoy this practice very much. However, I then have to microwave every meal after that, which I hate. It has always been strange to me that waiting a few minutes for a meal feels so much longer if I stand by the microwave while the food is reheating. There are many juxtapositions in this practice as the convenience does not necessarily outweigh the boredom.

This video concept became more relevant during this period of quarantine. Although I think about it often, it has become very apparent how much we are used to being stimulated.

Music Numerically Broken Down

For this assignment I have taken the last studio album of the late Rapper ‘Pop Smoke’ and broken it down into a series of numbers describing some common features in songs including the number of words, verses, time and features. I chose this because I have a personal interest in the composition of songs and believe breaking them down into numerical form was an interesting way of showing that.

Hello, Goodbye

Taking the time to call all those in my contacts, I wrote down their individual greetings and goodbyes and composed their scripts in order of who I called. Some were welcoming, some surprised, while others didn’t even pick up. Some had unique greetings, while others were pretty similar.

Framing a person by their style of speaking; I see an image of the person in each of these simple ways of a personal beginning and end
