Work Title: Cute Red Disasters<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Describe your object: This is a scan of a book of Goya prints, a Japanese postcard, two kinds of bubble wrap, a lip liner, a pencil, two one dollar bills, and two plastic babies. The scanner settings were not altered to create this image, and the photo has not been edited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Describe your motivation for making this object: I wanted to create depth by layering objects, and I tried to use a mix of similar and different objects to create visual interest. I thought that the juxtaposition of the Goya book with the cute illustration on the postcard would be funny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Describe your process: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I lay down the paper elements, being careful to interweave the pink bubble wrap between layers. I looked in my wallet and book bag and added the money and pencil because I thought that the image needed more elements, and I asked my friend Ari to borrow her lip pencil, because I thought it had an interesting form and color. I lay a clear plastic bag over all the objects I wanted to scan, to create a more dynamic backdrop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does this project mean to you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the objects I used in this piece were borrowed from my friends, so I like this image as an example of my ability to use things that other people have given me to create something new and interesting. I think that this was one of my most successful straight scanning projects, where I didn\u2019t edit the color settings on the scanner. This work made me realize that I had a pretty firm grasp on the technical qualities of the scanner, and led me to experiment more with nontraditional ways to use the machine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
