Conversation Glasses

These glasses each represent movements that affect people every day and show their response in resisting them. Each glass shows phrases, something used as hashtags, that correspond with the response people have to their issues. The one with ‘Me Too’ represents the issues of sexual harassment women face, most often in the work place. The other phrases include ‘Time’s Up, a call for it to end, and ‘Balance Ton Porc’, the French version which translates to ‘squeal on your pig’. The one with ‘Black Lives Matter’ represents the struggle black people in particular face against police brutality and the racism often shown in it. The other phrase is ‘Hands Up, Don’t Shoot’, a common mantra used to plead officers not to shoot people right away. The last one with ‘Me Next?’ shows a few responses people have had to school shootings that have happened, this one particularly wondering who would be next, as someone inevitably will be if nothing changes. The other phrase is ‘Never Again’, another call to end the violence. Using glasses was intended to show an everyday object, cups people use to drink, and combine them with issues that face people every day and their ways of resisting those issues, forcing the viewer or potential user to face the problems.

I believe in taking inspiration from almost anything and frequently am inspired by video games especially.

Lecture Review 2

Samantha Spreitzer Lecture Review ART 343 Date of Lecture: April 12, 2018 Morgan Craig Lecture             I was often thoroughly impressed by Morgan Craig’s pieces. Admittedly, I am impressed anytime someone has a sort of hyper realistic style of painting or drawing, so this definitely fit. But he also played with ideas of angles and color, often brightening colors to draw the viewers in, which, in his words, is a play on capitalism’s spectacle. His works often addressed capitalism in some, normally fairly negative, way that made sense for his subjects. More than anything else, they seemed to be places where capitalism had failed to deliver on its bountiful promises, instead leaving behind deserted shells of places that once held life, but not so much anymore. There are a few exceptions to this rule, but it does largely hold for his pieces as a whole. I do like that his pieces tend to be extremely large,...
