  Analogous Quantification

  Analogous Quantification : An exploration of numerical analysis using the pixel-based image

  My interest lies in the numerical basis of these [digitized] “memories.” If I break down my own collection of memories into its numeral interpretations and use them as a basis for manually creating an interaction beween them, can I design an experience that is analogous to the compound human memory?

  Copy Magazine

  Copy magazine [is conceived] to show the talents and lifestyles of a group of young artists in the Boston area or people of one particular concentration, people who are hungry, go-getters, willing to push themselves to the limits of explosion, and ultimately just love what they do. Through interviews, attendance at events, and inclusion of their work in thesis shows, I have entered these artists’ lives and began to gain a sense of who they are. My hope is to give each artist’s printed pages that same thrill and excitement I have gained while entering their world... Four-color printing, dimensions are 5 x 6.5 inches for easy carrying and [to distinguish the] magazine against other publications.

  also, letterpress experiments

  posters, book, etc., working the theme of punctuation, including punctuation (almost) only versions of The Wizard of Oz and Moby Dick.
  Spring semester —
  Alternatype
  When kindergarteners make art, they work with immediacy, make decisions and very rarely go back on them... Using an iPod, small sheets of cardstock and a variety of text-based media such as stickers, stamps and stencils, I am creating a body of work that represents the immediacy of my decisions based on my reactions to [popular songs]. This information will then be organized in several different ways to see if there is a subsconscious reaction to music genre, male vs. female singer, length of song, etc.

  lost memories

  I am embracing my memories by generating a book using photos that I have taken throughout the years, mainly in the last ten... My goal is to share my memories and emotions of that particular moment in time, with the viewer. An important component of this project is screen printing, that brings an image to life or rather gives it its own. I am also incorporating quotes that are taken from random books and online sources. These quotes come from average people who are also sharing their thoughts and emotions. To unify these images as a whole, as well as to expose the fact that the following comes from one person only, I have included a frame from my own MRI scan. The frame consists of detailed information including; name, gender, date and certain medical measurements of the brain.

  ...nothing has changed. I am still eating dirt and converse with my shadow.
  Year 1204.
  Unfulfilled dreams burn like real axe-wounds.
  ...if you can, do not come.
  Here you are always alone.
