1. I was surprised about how many pieces I had at the end of winter term. Before, I was struggling with the little amount of work I had, but in the end there was a excess of it. I regret having most of my photos large. Although I have always enjoyed my projects being on a bigger scale, next time I will do less in order to not overwhelm the viewer. I was very happy with my framed pieces. No one noticed the parts of my face in the pictures and instead thought my Dad looked disfigured. My two photos of the conjoined side view mirrors was visually pleasant. Together, they became one piece that reminded me a lot of Emmit Gowin's work and opened a door for future pieces in the Spring. Although I didn't show all of my car pieces, this part of my art needed to be accentuated because it included more of my personal photography skills rather than just photoshopping an old picture. In areas I could have improved in was the layout of my pieces and the isolation of one idea, however this was my winter exhibit which was supposed to show the various branches of work.
2. I enjoyed my framed photos the most because they had the most meaning behind it. The discretion of the pieces worked well and projected my idea of disfigurement.
3. I want to explore how we preserve someone, the little things we do in order to keep their memory alive when they are gone. This I believe, is through the 4 senses; touch, scent, see, and hear. These things are what build the memory of a person. It is not superficial, instead it is very natural how we do it.
My idea about the subtly of transposing my face into my fathers still is a compelling concept. Although I am not sure if I want the main focus to be on my father and me.
