Well, it has taken me longer than I intended but here is the final line-up from my end of year show. It was a challenging semester but in the end I was very happy with my work. Below is my artist statement.<br />
<br />
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> We all carry anxieties and internal struggles with us, it is what makes us who we are. Some of these issues stay with us for the entirety of our lives, while others become eroded and shaped by our experiences. For this body of work, these internal reflections are written down on rocks and placed beneath the surface of the water and photographed with a macro lens. The act of writing these thoughts down on rocks is a ritual, a casting away, as well as a metaphor for the weight that these anxieties have in our lives. Everyone has their own “bag of rocks” so to speak. Placing them below the water is the act of letting them go, or allowing them to begin to shape and change as life passes over them. </span></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> This work has been a journey, therefore incorporating my presence into the images was an important decision. While not necessarily an autobiographical body of work, an exploration has been made and the importance of that transcendence is not something to be overlooked.</span></span></div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13308564777075299389noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6142630345957625621.post-13087927223811417892012-05-24T13:47:00.001-07:002012-05-24T13:47:55.133-07:00Getting My Grove Back<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Alright, now that I've taken a few days to sleep in and recover from the end of the semester, I'm encouraging my brain to regain some function. The end of my first year of grad school has come and gone and I can't believe how quickly it went! Soon to come: pictures of my end of year show up in the gallery.Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13308564777075299389noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6142630345957625621.post-59860928489110422572012-04-12T11:10:00.000-07:002012-04-12T11:10:25.671-07:00What a Beautiful Idea<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjlKcdcBUSqy4uNwSdvkt2QdqM7ydFSPXaWQQzMXNix_l2Y_U3LTXlPUFQI66ejvCEM_3qMZkZmB-SWIbKB5J1EpAoVsYvhcqmphgLrg_bTvSUZHfQPtD92PGZEc75zTui_HUpR50uloU/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-04-12+at+1.55.53+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjlKcdcBUSqy4uNwSdvkt2QdqM7ydFSPXaWQQzMXNix_l2Y_U3LTXlPUFQI66ejvCEM_3qMZkZmB-SWIbKB5J1EpAoVsYvhcqmphgLrg_bTvSUZHfQPtD92PGZEc75zTui_HUpR50uloU/s640/Screen+Shot+2012-04-12+at+1.55.53+PM.png" width="546" /></a></div><br />

Artist <a href="http://www.anna-schuleit.com/" target="_blank">Anna Schuleit</a> was asked to make an installation of plants in a Massachusetts mental health center that was scheduled for demolition. They are breathtaking. Read the <a href="http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2012/03/bloom-28000-potted-flowers-installed-at-the-massachusetts-mental-health-center/" target="_blank">article</a>, it is very interesting.<br />

Up until now, I am a little ashamed to say I have done very little with my images in photoshop aside from minor exposure and lighting adjustments. And I will be the first to agree that what "new" things I am trying are by no means advanced or over-the-top, however, this is a new aesthetic for me and I must say I am quite pleased with it. At first glance, it does not appear to be two images on top of each other, but it does seem to have an awful lot of activity and movement which I find successful. It has been fun picking and choosing what images to combine, and I feel like to some degree, that it is furthering my state of discovery I had mentioned in my previous post.Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13308564777075299389noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6142630345957625621.post-4618435057022834082012-04-05T07:49:00.000-07:002012-04-05T07:49:38.671-07:00Traveling a New Path<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This group of photos is of an 'adventure' I took through the water flow in a park near my home. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I am straddling the line between accepting a little more conceptuality and holding onto/embracing the aesthetics I love so much. At the beginning of this project, I was proposing night photography...and one might say I've wandered away from that idea. I just can not let go of the aspect of water, I love it. I love being around it, being barefoot in it, the way it smells and sounds. I am continually fascinated by how light passes through it, making patterns that can never be created again. I feel as though I am in a constant state of discovery.<br />
Not only am I drawn to the beauty of water, I am also concerned with the issues around it. Only 2.5% of the water on earth is fresh, and 70% of that is used for agriculture, another 22% goes to the worlds' industries, leaving only 8% of that 2.5% for us...and that is frightening. This is an homage to the beauty and life giving qualities that fresh water has to offer.<br />

I have always had a thing for bikes, they are as beautiful as they are practical. I love the way you glide over the surface of the earth as you ride. The feeling of the wind on your face, it truly is a beautiful way to travel.

I used club soda for some bubbles. We are beginning to learn about the 3 different types of reflection and how to compensate for them with lighting control. It is nearing the time in the semester where we are being introduced to other light sources besides hot lights (which is awesome).

O'Sullivan</a>. He was the <a href="http://www.artic.edu/aic/exhibitions/exhibition/kingsurveywork">official photographer</a> for the U.S. government survey expeditions through out the "wild west." In a number of photographs from this expedition, he has these amazing landscapes of untouched greatness and upon taking a closer look, you can see a teeny tiny little figure of a man.<br />
These images resonated with me, to some degree I am trying to show the great expanse of nature using miniature figures and macro photography while he truly was showing the extremity and overwhelming scale of the natural world.<br />

This video is right up the ally of what we were talking about in class yesterday. As artists, we have all of this technology within our reach, but it is our responsibility to learn how to use it to our advantage. I'd say this is a pretty good example.<br />

In my digital culture class we had a dose of "digital broccoli" last week where we were introduced to the basics of animation. I'd say that we got some cheese with our broccoli. This is my attempt, it is an image I made and then cut into strips, playing with the movement of the photograph. Not sure where this would be going, but it was pretty fun! Please do not be too harsh...the video quality is quite lacking :(Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13308564777075299389noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6142630345957625621.post-46921730051506416822011-11-02T18:15:00.000-07:002011-11-02T18:16:36.649-07:00Sneak Peak<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT609TlEyrk969DwWPpGVkoEl8zq4rcofQXU2nLKOuJdOJFuN92XY63iW6bmbLQlL9TVXukCzB4mB1sJs5xHq68SrjYo1KEkTcyuXxeTnr_wqSrTHYMGUXlrTjXN8tyUq-XfA4ktShwPY/s1600/IMG_1272.web" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT609TlEyrk969DwWPpGVkoEl8zq4rcofQXU2nLKOuJdOJFuN92XY63iW6bmbLQlL9TVXukCzB4mB1sJs5xHq68SrjYo1KEkTcyuXxeTnr_wqSrTHYMGUXlrTjXN8tyUq-XfA4ktShwPY/s1600/IMG_1272.web" /></a></div><br />

It has been a bit of a struggle to find my feet and really get the inspirational juices flowing but I'm getting pretty excited about this group of images on which I am working. I'm channeling <a href="http://www.davidlevinthal.com/index.html">David Levinthal</a> a little here, using small figures and shooting with macro. I'm still in the process of finding a strong concept of what these images mean, but I'm getting there.Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13308564777075299389noreply@blogger.com0
