Nicole's 6th Post

Things have started to slow down a little. On the bright side, my ink pieces are almost complete! I just need to finish mounting the last one.

My digital pieces are coming along slowly, but I feel confident that they'll be near completion fairly soon.

My work is an exploration of the human experience, creating commentary on issues pertaining to social justice, military, feminity, and religion. As I have developed as an artist I found it challenging to only put myself into a single category or box when it comes to creating work. I never have a solid focus on any single message or idea I want to convey; but rather, think, talk, and act on the issues of the world around me as they occur. My work and ideas constantly evolve depending on what is happening in the moment. I am thinking of creating an installation or interactive work that I will elaborate on later. Sculptures will build off of ideas I created previously. Currently my work includes painting, gif (which I want to create as its own series), and digital posters.

Bree Pt. 3 - Nov. 8th Edition.

Second blog post for the night. Sooooooo. I have altered some of the eye photographs. I have an obsession with eyes when exposed to bright sunlight. The colors that are brought out are some beautiful colors and it shows the texture in the iris and just how could you not love it? So to make my series different, I changed some of the cropping in the eye photos and I dodged the iris' but only the iris and lowered the rest of the exposure, giving almost a creepy sort of unsettled vibe. This was just an experiment while playing around with Photoshop while thinking about what I could do differently and I actually really like the outcome. I am still playing around with the skin pictures and might have to end up doing some re-shoots but ya know, it happens and it's all good. Anyways, here is some edited photographs from the eye series and I am still in the process of editing and re-shooting the skin series. I also might have a side project that I am going to start may decide to put it in the senior show possibilities folder, but that's a surprise for another time. Goodnight!

Bree Pt. 2 - A review of the last several weeks.

Alright y'all. I am sure I am not the only one to say this but this semester is whooping my butt like no tomorrow. Any more I barely get more than one day off of work a week and adding the course load of all my other demanding classes, I feel like I am drowning. But, nonetheless, I persist.
 A few weeks ago I changed my idea from the dreams, phobias, and philias over to two mini series: SKINtimate and EYEdentity. The basis of SKINtimate is that there are defining factors of someone that is not in their personality. I wanted to focus on this part of them that, at the end of the day, you cannot wash off. Things like tattoos, birthmarks, scars, stretchmarks, everything that cannot just be wiped off like makeup. These marks are forever on your skin, with the exception of some tattoos after laser removal. When you think of these physical features, sometimes you don't always think of these things as a defining factor, but they are the most permanent one of all other than the eyes.
This brings me to the other mini series: EYEdentity. There are photos previously seen of people from the tip of the nose up and just with a set of eyes and some eyebrows, that is all the information your brain needs to instantly know who that person is if you knew them prior. I wanted to take this idea and play around with it in reference to a previous portrait I did in Photo 3 with my friend Aaron (included). I wanted to focus mostly on the pure fact that with such minimal information, your brain can instantly recognize someone. BOOM. Isn't that weird. Well, here are some photographs I had so far as of October 23rd.
