post christmas/new year update

Happy New Year! Bit late I suppose. I just remembered that I've neglected to make posts about the outcome of my holiday wishlists and my end of semester projects. I spent my entire Christmas break stressing about this photography assignment and sculpture project, so I figure I deserve the satisfaction of posting my work here. The art project I was assigned is to build a kinetic sculpture using a crank mechanism.

I mentioned the Cindy Sherman photoshoot in my last post, and here it is finally! I took the photos over the course of about two weeks. The captions are the titles of the original inspiration photos.

Untitled #95

Untitled #93

Untitled Film Still #36

Untitled Film Still #32

For this assignment I even wrote a 10 page essay about Cindy Sherman's work and my own interpretations, which you can read here. 

this one was a total accident but I think it's American Horror Story-esque

As for Christmas, I got a bunch of makeup and other random stuff, but most importantly I got most of the books I had on my wishlist!

Alexander McQueen: Evolution, The Wes Anderson Collection, Rookie Yearbook Two, and Ghost World
bonus: my new kitten, Major Tom

Hans Christian Anderson and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story collections, British Fashion Designers, a book about philosophy, and For Colored Girls

Now that I'm done all those stressful projects I've been making little zines in art class, which I'll probably share with you soon!
