Honors Thesis Application

The paintings displayed are "The Twelve Steps Are Giant Steps" "So What? I Have To Cut You Loose." & "Relapsin' At Camarillo" The poems that accompany each painting are on the pedestal.

I fixed up several details including the shoe in the center painting and the hanging figure on the left.

The sculptural, mixed-media elements add some dimension to the work and the poem written on the center painting is visible from the side,

This is the bird's nest atop "Relapsin' at Camarillo"

On February 24, I applied for the opportunity to start an honors thesis in studio art.  My application consisted of a written proposal and the display shown above.  I have now been accepted to the program and I will select my advisory committee in following weeks.  The program should allow me to have my own studio space in my senior year - in which to create a cohesive body of work to be reviewed by the faculty before my graduation.

I am currently reworking "The Twelve Steps Are Giant Steps" three times larger with better colors, as seen here.

One of my photographs and "So What? I Have To Cut You Loose." will appear in the Spring Issue of Cellar Door, the student literary magazine at UNC-CH.
