Breath of Fresh Art

Materials: 3D pen with black ABS plastic. Processes: I found a suitable image of the brain and printed it, drew the body and the strings with pencil, then put the clear plastic board over it, filled in the negative space in the brain, and traced the rest. Ideas: I wanted to find a new way to represent string so I made a representation of a puppet controlled by strings. I made the strings attached to the body because physically, people can be controlled, but our minds are able to think freely.  

Materials:  Black origami paper, white poster board, yarn. Processes: I tied the knot that I found and folded origami men of different sizes to represent a father and son. Ideas: Many of our tendencies and cognitive behaviors are inherited. I wanted to show a link between generations in our similar brains. I was inspired by a rope decoration that I found at my grandmother’s house.
