Final Portfolio

In the Intro to Print class I'm teaching this semester, I assigned my class to make their own personal currency. In conjuncture with the making of the actual etching, my students also had to use one of their prints in a transaction, (a trade with a friend, business, etc.) and then present that object/story to the class during the critique.

This assignment was inspired by the work of J.S.G. Boggs and Mel Chin's Fundred Dollar Bill Project. It was indented to encourage the students to think about how something they create can serve as a component to a larger idea, and how their choice to work in a specific medium can be more conceptually relevant if it ties into the overall concept (a dollar is an actual editioned intaglio print).

This was also a class collaboration because it was a portfolio exchange--the above image is my contribution to the project.

Sand Jesus

When I was about 5 years old I had a cart with a hole in it. I discovered that if I filled the cart with sand it would act like an hour glass, and if I pushed the cart, the draining sand would create a line. I then drew a 60-foot portrait of Jesus on my parent's driveway. (my mom took this picture from my bedroom window)

finding your way

My grandfather was a celestial navigator in the navy during the Korean War. Shortly before he died he left me a note describing how to find my bearings, and asking me to find him a book on the constellations. In this image you will find the the note, and my drawing about it.
