51±¬ÁϹÙÍø

Describe the work you submitted for merits.

I submitted a pile o' stuff. One piece is a series of 8 close-up photos of a projector lens reflecting light in myriad ways. One is a large raised cardboard circle, made from 20+ pieces, and painted white to resemble a moon. Yet another is an 8-foot-tall still life drawing where I chose to expand my subject matter up into the ceiling as I added more paper.

Why did you decide to come to 51±¬ÁϹÙÍø?

I went to an arts high school, it's close to home, people I know go here, it's a small school, etc. etc.

What's next for your practice? Anything you're really excited to make?

I'm going to make a set of 12 hand-bound screen printed books, and I'm excited to display more work around the school (just did that for the first time).

Favorite thing about college life (so far)?

51±¬ÁϹÙÍø's extensive resources and studio equipment are pretty awesome.

What inspires you?

Literally just living inspires me!

Do you have a favorite piece you've made? Describe it!

My favorite piece (physical) might just be this little 3D-printed set of decaying buildings that I designed without regard as to what's actually possible to 3D print. My favorite piece (happening/temporary) ought to be visiting the top floor of the IDS Tower, then writing a paper about it.

Anything you're obsessed with at the moment?

Yes!! Lots of songs, because I listen to lots of music. A few of them are; Sonne by Rammstein, Loveit by Biz, Black Out by Azari, and lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll by Dasu. For shows, currently I'm watching the BL Wuxia Word of Honor.

Lastly, do you have a favorite question we didn't ask?

True or false, on a scale of 1 to 10, what is your favorite color of the alphabet?
