Noelle Alter Ego: Bailey



Bailey’s life is narrow and mundane. Tied down by her selfish desires, you’ll often find her moping around, angry at the world and herself. 




These were my pictures for draft 1. I tried my best to create a sense of longing and anger in my facial expression, reaching out into the distance. 

For Draft 2, I wanted to make my facial expression and actions more extreme. I really wanted to lean into the alter ego aspect, appearing as different as myself as possible. I emphasized the anger aspect of Bailey more. 

This project pushed me outside of my comfort zone as I don’t usually make photography, especially of myself. In fact, despite taking these pictures alone, I felt almost awkward or uncomfortable while posing for the camera.

Lost Childhood Object: Susie Homemaker's oven

Image
  Planning sketch  The oven is made out of a cardboard base that's painted aqua. I created a lightbulb using fairy lights, film, and tin foil. I used hot glue to give the colored film its spherical structure.  My final piece is an artistic representation of Ms. Watkins Susie Homemaker's oven. I wanted to include her notable descriptions of the oven's aqua color, light bulb, painted stove top, colorful dials, and mini cake box. The oven door opens and closes shut because the real one locks for four hours while cooking by a lightbulb!

The creation of this piece became a meditative and reflective process, helping me appreciate the world around me.       The final poem was an afterthought. After speaking with a classmate, he inspired me to reveal the poetic meaning behind each page.  F...

Fish food

Image
This is a revised version of fish food. I added blue gel to mimic the reflection of water where the coi fish now dangled on top of. It is hung by woven orange and red embroidery thread which is sewn through the human’s lip. It is a message on how violence often overwhelms the peaceful emotions and how these two feelings are linked together. A major sacrifice is written out with individual letters from a magazine, The letters collage as the human’s teeth to better highlight the sacrificial relationship between these two juxtaposing images. Oftentimes it feels like you need to sacrifice one extreme for another.   This is a multi-media piece made from collages of magazines, oil pastels, and bead embroidery.  I was inspired by my trip to the dentist to draw an open mouth. I wanted to scale this large, so it could take up the entire left corner. On the right side, I used magazines to collage blue water and a koi fish, stealing from the small pond I saw on my walk. There is a sense ...
