Social Commentary10/20/2017 I have decided to address The issue of the Mexican American border wall being campaigned by President Donald Trump. I want to show the effect of the wall being built and how arbitrary the use of one is. When instead laws and new organization and love can have a much better effect. i am planning on making a smaller wall with mixed media and a ladder leaning against it. To show how easy it would be to make it totally worthless.

When starting this project I knew I wanted to try out something with a casting of my face. So then Despite the somewhat popular belief that I fly by the seat of my pants I'm very proud of the process of my piece I started with a complicated use of piping and wire and plaster. Which made me more equipped to finish a house then do an actual art project. Then I didn't give up my previous plan. It simply matured into something new I loved the look of the light yolk from the stage light and realized it would be almost perfect for my clay cast of my face. I began to experiment wondering what my base would be like what to use then I saw it the very bane of Mrs. Macklay....THE BRICK!! I knew i must use it it didn't prep or cleaning it just needed to be apart of something. So i had it with the combination of my brick and yolk I had my base now all I need is my piece to fired and I'm this much closer to a finished piece. Metamorphosis9/21/2017 While going through the thought process of how I can make the metamorphose prompt my own I think of many things. I think of the natural way of metamorphose and also the natural the man mad the created. Also not the physical but the mental and personal metamorphose of peoples dreams and their personalities.one day he finds himself converted into a giant cockroach he does not know about it at first until he wakes up and looks at himself in the mirror he changes his taste for food now attracted to left overs dislikes water and light dislikes people and events and cannot relate to the morning news on TV his door has now remained closed and no one is allowed to enter except his dear sister who feeds him morsels in time he begins to understand how is it to be a cockroach how humans have been too cruel to their state An excerpt from Kafka's Metamorphosis. I Chose both kafka's metamorphosis and this second piece because it shows the gross underbelly of the human soul they show the carnal nature of humans. That only self preservation is important and through so called good things evil acts are committed.
Selfie Project8/30/2017 Anish Kapoor is a contemporary artist who uses a strange medium. By using light and mirrors he distorts his face showing his own self portrait of himself. This medium is something I hope to explore. Though more popularly known as an actor and comedian, Jim Carrey is a very talented artist. What I admire about him is that he doesn't do it for me money he does it as an escape as an expression of himself. He loses himself in his work completely. Which is something artist work for years to achieve.
