Layers


So this assignment was about layers. We needed something from our past, something from our future, a pattern, and a historical reference. I wanted to incorporate all of these in a coherent and fairly straight-forward way, since I'm not so great at more abstract images. The pattern and historical reference are the stained glass window, the past is me as a kid, and the future is the piece of origami I'm folding.

This piece is another self-portrait...that just sort of happened by accident this semester. The concept is me as a kid being bored in church (as I always was) and amusing myself. I'm actually glad now that my parents made me go to church, because there were so many beautiful and colorful things to look at and make up little stories about in my head. It was a really good creativity exercise.
