Mask and Revelation expresses the contrasting emotions someone appears to have to the
emotions they feel implicitly. The ‘shadow people’ on the men's shoulders symbolize their inner
selves as the trees, leaves and vines wrapping around and behind them symbolize their well-
being. The inspired style was of Northern Renaissance artist Hans Baldung Grien and his way of
showing sincere emotion through his figures.

Hidden Just out of View expresses the creativity of storytelling as well as the fear of the
unknown and the security people cling onto. The person featured holds the torch in the darkness
as the creatures hug the darkness hidden just out of view. The story could be led by the viewer’s
imagination. The inspired style was off John D. Batten, whose illustrations have brought visuals
to literature from many different stories and intrigue the viewer with fantasy and mystery.

Winter House

Mixed Media

Winter House was inspired by miniature artists Ofra Lapid and Joshua Smith and the concept of
junk sculpture. Although it’s not exactly a traditional junk sculpture, it has junk materials to
create detail, form and space like one would see in an actual house. The winter and snowy theme
symbolizes the warmth, comfort, and appreciation of the house itself and the shelter and
memories it provides people with.

What's Today's Date?

What's Today's Date? uses symbolism to express the stress and urgency there is in urban living.
Both dogs in the Triptych show conflicting emotions; outgoing and wild to unmotivated and
fearful. The girl walking these dogs is a symbol of trying to control and balance these emotions
as well as handling other responsibilities. The inspired style was off an American painter, Theo
Dapore, who creates abstract landscapes and triptychs.

The Edge of the World

Acrylic on canvas

The Edge of the World illustrates the border between two worlds; a pristine and orderly utopia
next to the wild and thriving jungle. The theme behind this painting is mystery, security and the
temptation of adventure into the unknown. There is symbolism with the flower and the
overgrowth over the warning sign and fence welcoming the two students into the wilderness.
Another theme is the two worlds, organic vs industrial, which world is intruding the other?

The Middle of Nowhere

The Middle of Nowhere illustrates the feeling of unfamiliarity and worry by the expression of the
girl wandering through the wild and the way she hugs herself for security. The bugs on the
ground symbolize the unknown threat they may hold by their menacing size due to the
significance of perspective on the image although they may be harmless. This Illustration
symbolizes being in a situation of oblivion and anxiety.

The End

The End is a clay model of two walls of a library. This sculpture is meant to serve as a book end
for a bookshelf, which is one of the visuals inside the library giving it the theme of inception.
The little man standing at the window is seen looking out and if the book end was on a bookshelf
it would make it seem as if the little man is looking at a bigger selection of books rather than the
ones in the library he's in giving it a theme of wonder and mystery.

Satellite Family is a surrealist watercolor painting inspired by the paintings of Jacek Yerka and
the concept of surrealism and personification. It illustrates a rooftop with multiple satellites all
pointed in the direction of the multiple chimneys to personify a family sitting together watching
something. I attempted to manipulate the watercolors to paint very smooth textures and crisp
unity. The theme is of having human qualities without any people in the art piece.

consists of naturals objects like plants that were not originally created by people but have been
manipulated by people to fit our needs. The path through the cornfield symbolizes safe travel and

A Hero's Journey portrays the passage of a day using color to exaggerate the time of day. This
narrative follows the life of a teenage boy, who spends his whole story wasting the day away on
his phone. This shows the opportunity for a "hero's journey" which is the progression of a broad
narrative mixed with the way people in modern day society use their time. The format of this
piece was inspired by Alphonse Mucha's quadriptych artwork representing the four seasons.

The Storm

The Storm heavily uses color and value to express mood and create forms and textures. This is a
narrative piece that symbolizes fear of the unknown and childhood innocence through the
frightened boy who fears the thunderstorm outside, going into his grandparent’s room wearing
his dad's boots afraid that it'll start raining in the house. The inspired artist is Don Wood; a
children's book illustrator whose work in King Bidgood's in the Bathtub also includes color to
convey the time and the mood.
