About Me

My photo
Finished my bachelors degree in Art Practices August of 2012 and a masters degree in Educational Leadership and Policy with a specialization in Post Secondary Adult and Continuing Education in 2014. Professionally I'm interested in creating culturally responsive curriculum for Native American/Alaska Native youth and adults in formal and non-formal learning environments. I love the intersection of art, learning/teaching, and Indigenous cultures and ways of knowing. In my creative process I'm interested in using iconic Native American images or objects in different ways to illustrate political or historical themes, truths (as I see them), and experiences. I also love to use different art mediums to capture the people and world around me. I enjoy making art with friends and giving away art is a way for me to show my love and gratitude to others.

Color Photography: Assignment 4


Narrative

In this assignment our challenge was to create a narrative(s) by the conceptual framing of our photography. I chose to pair up three night photos with one photo from the daytime. In the collage below you can see the night shots on top and its corresponding photo below. The night shots were very difficult and challenging. I got really lucky with the top let shot of the farm across the street from my house. The picture of the cow below is the farm during the day. I also tried using my nephew in one of the photos to play with the uncanny. In a reading assignment they talked about the successful use of children in awkward or unusual poses or environments to add a sense of the uncanny. My nephew is very introspective and is the perfect model for this kind of shot. I think it was successful.
