The last 6 pieces of my 12-piece AP Studio Art portfolio concentration.
How does the work in your concentration demonstrate the exploration of your idea?
My work progresses from simple, more static compositions to varied perspectives and complex representations of the body, at the same time as my style becomes looser and incorporates more mark-making. This change is most apparent in Image 7, where the various shades of bone and river are less blended. I was influenced in this stylistic decision by the work of Vincent van Gogh, especially in his close examinations of the natural world and in his emotional use of color. The last six works in my concentration, as well as being stylistically more developed, also incorporate a greater use of text. In these works, I progress from the simple reproduction of anatomical terms to using my own creative writing to express the emotions and memories associated with each subject, culminating in Image 12 where I identify myself in Spanish as well as English. This evolution of both style and language demonstrates my growth as a writer, as an artist, and as a person.
The first six pieces of my 12-piece AP Studio Art portfolio concentration.
What is the central idea of your concentration?
My passions are creative writing, language, and art. In my concentration, I combine these loves with my interest in anatomy and nature by substituting objects for parts of the body based on wordplay. For example, Image 1 is based on the similar sounds of “sails” and “cells;” each of my works is based on a similar twist of language. This process also reflects my constant self-evaluation and -identification: how I represent these interests is an expression of my own character and growth.

He sees himself as a negotiator who occasionally has to break the law, as opposed to being a full-on thief. He’s a guy with a skill set who’s found his niche, and his niche happens to occur in a lawless context. He’s OK with that.
As a matter of fact, if you watch Chris’ fights, he always disarms every gun as he goes. The point of his fights is to end the fights as quickly as possible. The character is frankly disappointed when violence occurs.

I assume this about humans
in space, two obejcts will eventually be pulled together.
by each other. by the unfathomable moving
which we call dark, meaning devoid of light, matter,
meaning what we are capable of identifying.
that which science calls ghost.
because of this, when stars are seen
which are their own suns, really, just
without people to give names to them,
alone, they are assumed to have a mirror
another ravenous self-immolating atomic burn,
which pulls at them back.
the second thing anybody learns
about stars is that eventually they eat themselves,
howling and imploding and utterly soundless,
in and in and in until there is nothing, a
single point into which everything is
dissolved. when the other has been drawn
too close they get self-shattered too,
but usually, they are just far enough away
to be safe, to orbit, to perhaps fly out into dark.
before that we just grow up surrounded by them.
first, we learn that we will never, never
until the planet burns, stop
looking at them and falling in love and
wanting to understand.
