PRESENTATION
PRESENTATION
I completed this project with a presentation describing the whole journey through the year and the outcome. I explained the outcome over process videos and finalized the work with a video and a lantern. This outline determined the description of the project, related writing, and the hopeful tone I took into the exhibition.
​
This is a reminder to rehearse a presentation before doing it to make sure everything will work on the tech you are using...
MOVING ON AFTER GRADUATING
What is next?
The number one question after graduating. The project led me to a different path then I expected, and made me want to apply it to my life in different ways. At the moment, the project as is probably won't become a reality. However, I think a version of it will continue on. Creating the lanterns with people in mind made me realize I just have a desire to make. More specifically, a desire to make for people. More MORE specifically, a desire to make for people in order to help them feel emotions that are hard to express otherwise. I took a step back, and see myself taking what I learned from Industrial Design and applying it to an art practice. In the future, maybe I will design memorials... Maybe I will teach art... Maybe I will show others what art can do for them.
Despite this, I think the conversations I started in the process and outcome of my project led me as far as I needed right now. I am open to coming back to it in the future with a new perspective, more time and resources to research, and an opportunity to connect with CMA to see the value in memorializing these deaths.
