I just finished the first layer of this piece today in class! I spent several nights this week up late working on this piece and am happy to have the first full layer complete. I'm really excited to see the way this will turn out and am hopeful that it is as realistic as I want it to be!

I've been continuing to draw the and design and i'm onto my third drawing as of now. But besides that i've been shooting photos of people on their phones (the last few photos) throughout the times i've been home and going to New York City. I also did a shoot in the woods with a keyboard and charger as you could see the portrayal of nature and technology. These are only a few of the photos that i've shot, but i plan on using photoshop for all of them to make the nature keep its color and the technology black and white.

These are my newest editions to my series, I'm very happy with them. I am putting them through iMovie and creating an animation with them, playing with different speeds and filters. I really enjoyed this series in the simplicity of it but how much drama the lighting added to it, versus the first post I had made where I had used no lighting.

I knew there was another reason I needed to go back to the studio last night, besides more gesso-ing. Pictures. Dammit.

So I don't have pictures of my progress at this time, but it has been made, and I will have them soon! For now, I have pictures of sketches.

I made an underpainting of what will be a snail with the fibonacci sequence on the shell, and a funny tagline. I'm also a little over halfway done with another painting, which doesn't have a name yet, but involves an astronaut and an eye and a black hole. It needs a lot more work but it's coming together. I've never painted a closeup of an eye before so I'm kind of learning as I go.

I've also brainstormed a few more ideas for pieces, like the lungs/tree roots one which will be challenging but interesting, since there's some transparency and a lot of detail in it. And the bird one. I'm really excited about the bird one. I'm hoping the ideas keep flowing once I'm done with this round.

I'm still waiting on two tubes of iridescent oil paint, which I'm also really
excited about.

Hello World,

Since my last post I have focused more so on my interest in architecture, and geometric shapes. I am looking to light and the way it interacts with the architecture. During our trip to NYC, rather than going to the Met, I went to the MoMA and was able to take some photographs on the way.
Here are a few from this week:

I am also still attempting my ephemeral series. I am not quite sure how to accurately portray that feeling, so I am still just in an experimental phase. I have decided to go against my original idea of creating a scene, similar to artists like Cindy Sherman and Gregory Crewdson. It is far from how I photograph normally, I enjoy spontaneity and capturing what already exists. It does not feel authentic to go against what I know just for the sake of being different. So I'm gonna keel rolling with it!

Here are a few:

Peace and Blessings,

Sami-Skye

Unfortunately, I do not have pictures for you to see this post. I have been focusing on taking photographs the last few weeks and I am currently finishing my third roll of film. I plan on developing them this weekend. I have three-ish concept ideas I've been working with, one is still in the process of forming, one includes photographing things,places or locations that were altered or destroyed by man, that once belonged to nature, and for the other I'll be using my half frame 35mm camera to focus on shooting motion through multiple frames almost like a flip book.

Besides that, I have printed using the Chlorophyll Process (contact print using only the sun) a few more times, though each time it takes longer to develop due to Fall/Winter because the amount of UV light is decreasing. Essentially, it means I am quickly running out of time to work with live leaves and the sun :(

But, my darkroom is completely set up and supplies ordered and on their way, so by next week I can start painting objects with the light sensitive material, drying, and exposing them under an enlarger. I'll have pictures up on the next post!
