I chose a very simple poem by Shel Silverstein, and I interpreted it two different ways. In the first example, I am playing with text on a path, and color. I couldn’t figure out how to add a pattern to I […]
I see how the film How Not to be Seen gets at some of the same concepts from the Violence at the Threshold of Detectability reading, with a lighter, satirical focus. It’s interesting to think about what can be h […]
I have a lot going on in my life right now, so I needed something fairly straightforward for this week’s homework. I chose to add famous portraits from DaVinci, Sargent, and Vermeer to well-known landscapes by […]
This is a practical poster that I could actually use in my professional life. I used to make these in PowerPoint, which I am extremely comfortable with. Working in Photoshop is frustrating sometimes, because I […]

I started researching artists working in this style, and I found Brooklyn-based textiles designer Philip David Stearns. The fabrics are beautiful and interesting. He writes that, “Our textiles render the subtle […]
When Jack Pollock created his abstract splatter paintings, he was, in a sense, a progenitor of glitch art, taking something considered to be an error or malfunction and turning it into a work of art. I liked how […]
