Landscape


In this project, I was tasked with creating a landscape image in Photoshop using only body parts. I looked to different landscapes for inspiration and decided to replicate one with mountains, water, and tree branches. I began by manipulated pictures of noses to create the mountains, focusing on maintaining the pink hue in the original picture. I created the sky by using a close-up photo of an eye, and using many adjustment layers to give it a pink and blue hue. Then, I created tree branches using arms and legs, and then the tubes of the lung for the smallest branches. I made flowers out of a photograph of a hand that I duplicated and added gradients to. For cohesiveness I used the same hands for the plants in the water but made the hue more dull. The water itself is made of tissue, adjusted to look like it has depth. The rocks in the water are bent legs/knees, as well as the small boat in the distance which I included to further the illusion of depth.

Video Art

View here:  https://youtu.be/EHUY03vcvs4 Artist Statement: When trying to decide how to approach this project, I began by thinking of how I could incorporate technology both into the theme and the production of the video. I ended up using the Photo Booth application on my Mac to record a video using the heat map effect. I experimented with how the effect worked by moving different distances from the camera and moving my hand over the camera, causing a flickering effect where the heatmap colors changed temporarily. I utilized technology by recording myself using various devices- my phone, laptop, and game console. The way that the heatmap responded to the screens of the devices was interesting. To edit the video, I used Final Cut Pro to import each clip, trim them, and use various effects. I used different opacities to overlay clips onto each other, in order to achieve a more complex image. I also added overlay trails, kaleidoscopes, mirror images, and duplication. These eff...

Flipbook

My goal with this flipbook was primarily to create a story that has some cohesive elements but is still abstract. The included various different 'scenes' like a guy getting rained on, finding an umbrella, and then abandoning the umbrella only for a frog to fall on it. The frog then catches a fly with its tongue and transforms into Pikachu from the Pokemon series. Pikachu gets captured by a Pokeball, which is then abducted by an alien spaceship. The ship turns pink and morphs into a heart, which undergoes a series of transformations.

Madame Butterfly Thoughts

I thought that the Madame Butterfly animation was very thought-provoking and unique. The story was unpredictable and kept me interested in watching, like when the woman 'gave birth' to the fish that then transformed into a child, and when the child is taken away and the woman disassembles herself. The beginning of the story seemed peaceful and romantic, with her and the man falling in love while the music was also slow and peaceful. Then, she gives birth to her child and everything continues to see happy. They are literally connected by a string, which could symbolize an umbilical cord, and seem to be having fun. The music becomes a bit more intense as they hear the ship returning, signifying that things may not remain so peaceful.The woman seems very eager for the man to return and waits for him excitedly, even placing some flowers on her head as if she wants him to see her as beautiful. However, he stays on the ship and parties.  I find this situation to be very sad because...
