Screen print Project 1

Next project--watch out for a new Mr. Potato Head! My version will be a screen print consisting of human and ape components. This project plays with the idea of mistakes or interruptions in evolution of humans. It elaborates on the question of what if a body part of the human accidentally didn't evolve with the rest of the body? Or what if a genetic mutation occurred that caused an ape body part to show up again surprisingly or misplace a human body part?

Finally, my work has been documented! The artworks from this particular post are my most recent works from the year of 2011, meaning they mostly reflect my thought process on the idea of evolution.  Much research has been put into this process, and I will continue to explore many variations of evolution.  As of right now, screenprinting and lithography are my focus, along with fiber drawing.  In many of my works, I will add a final fiber element to them as a way to explore how fibers can change a composition or affect a piece of work.

That is all the pictures I will post for now, more coming soon. This is just an idea of what my blog is about. It ponders the idea of evolution. Do you believe in evolution, or just the idea of it? If there is strong scientific evidence out there, what about all the stories that have been passed down orally or maintained in written records to describe the beliefs of how humans were created? Does evolution evidence just eliminate the stories or beliefs?  This blog does not reveal my beliefs or my religion, nor is it meant to offend anyone.  I am simply exploring the idea of evolution and researching into it to find what makes it so interesting to me. If you would like to let me know what you think, please email me!

New Puppy!

       Meet Coco! Coco is my new (and very first!) puppy.  She is a teacup Maltese, and the new love of my life.  I would do ANYTHING for this angel.  I look forward to making new memories with my new companion, and I am very excited that she brings me joy every day when I come home!
