STORY- This is a book shelf in my room. It is full of several different types of media. Vinyl, books, cd's and dvd's. All off these things share at least one funtion in common. That is that they all tell stories. They do so in different ways and styles and techniques, but all tell some type of story.
ARTIFACT - This is a crucifix that I got after my first communion when I was in the first grade. It seems old to me because when I think back to how little I was when I got it, it feels like forever ago. But when I think about how ancient this particular design is, and how old the tradition is that it represents, it seems rather new.
MULTIVIEW- These are two different paintings that I have done over the past year or so. Both obviuosly are of my bike. Both show the bike in dynamic poses but also show two different kinds of feel. What is cool to me about these two paintings is that they are of my bike in the same position, just different points of view. I never touched the bike, simply walked around it to see it from another perspective and yet the bike was saying two totally different things at the same time.

CYCLE- I cannot think of much of a better example of cycle than that of plant life changing with the seasons of the year. In this example, the trees in the spring time blooming and coming back to life after a long frozen winter. The cycle that continues without fail and also is completely necessary. If the tree didn't go through cycles with the weather, it wouldn't survive longer than 1 year.
TRANSLATION - This is a picture someone in my band took as were driving somewhere in the Pacific Northwestern part of the country. It represents translation well to me because it strikes me as a powerfull image, yet silent at the same time. And to me that implies that this scene is left to be translated however anyone wants to see it for themselves. What does it say to you?
