Month: October 2017

My four year plan  is too learn as much I can in my chosen field of choice, gain experience where I can. I also hope that in my pursuit for learning I’ll become interdisciplinary in other topics and my application of them.

I hope to be able to work with the media and social media make content that I enjoy. I hope to become a documentary photographer as well as a skilled writer. Hand in hand, I’ll be able to tell my story, but stories of marginalized people joy or sadness.

 

My minor is communication because I wanted to learn more techniques to produce a succinct message or get you’re point across interpersonally. I believe this will be a good choice because the major allows for more flexibility.

Critique-

Now that I look at this work, I feel like it comes off a little stiff or too posed, I feel like I could have experimented with still objects in addition to people. I also wished that I shot this in RAW, but the outtakes came out the way I hoped. I think the strongest part of this work is a color palette and the use of light. I think this work was one of my greatest work honestly. Especially the one with the bar of light on the girl face, which is touchy on the idea of being silence, vunerablity, the oppression of gender roles and more.

Johnso Tsang work is a sculptor, one of the first works I’ve ever seen from this artist was the Lucid Dream Series (Posted at the bottom). Lucid dreaming is the state your dreams are fluid and you are aware of what’s happening in them, but what’s even better you are able to change and control things in the dream. The idea of fluidity and control is apparent in the sculptures as the view see a series of clay faces be altered in dream like way. From a face being squashed with a palm to a head being held like a plastic bag and his ability to make his sculptures seems malleable in their finished state adds to this idea of lucid dream. I was also just astonished by his talent and ability to shape clay so masterfully.
