Powder

For this challenge I crushed pastel chalk and put it in small pieces of paper with paint marks on them. to me they resembled something scientific. 

Wax

For this challenge I took a tea cup and broke it. I took different pieces and constructed is using wax. 

Maps

For this Challenge I cut out countries off a map and pasted them on a canvas that was covered in floral print. 



Wood

For this challenge I went outside and picked up twigs from the yard. I used thread and tied it around each twig in a different way. Unfortunately I left these pieces in S3 and they disappeared before I could take a picture of them. 

Newspaper

For this challenge I wanted to do some geometric shapes. I cut out shapes in a newspaper and glued them to a white paper. I did not like the white color so I dyed each page using tea. I decided to push it further and added ink drops to some of the pages. 


Holes

For this challenge I took clippings from a magazine of women and burnt holes into the page. This was my favorite challenge to do. I really like the unpredictable quality of the fire and was very pleased with the results 





Final Project

For my final I decided to skew beauty. I used my "holes" quick challenge to inspire the project. 

I knew that I wanted to have a nostalgic feel to it and wanted it to look almost like a wall in an old home. So I framed all of my works, with the exception of one. My main medium was fire. I used fire to skew the beauty of each piece and hung them on the wall.
