I created this small wooden chest for my sculpture this semester. I used a band saw to carve Antarctica and watercolors to stain the wood. I plan to add more color in the drawers soon!</div>

I had the awesome opportunity to travel to the southwest for a week of spring break with the geology club here at UMaine! We landed in Vegas than made our way to Zion National Park in Utah, then the Grand Canyon in Arizona, than the desert outside of Phoenix. We made many cool stops along the way!</div>

For digital art I chose to photograph the outdoors. I
focused on things like light and texture in our snowy area. I was particularly
interested in the view looking into the forest: the shadows and forms among the
trees. I also captured some focused shots of things that may be common, but are
beautiful. Sometime we forget to notice the details because we have walked the
same trails many times, and seen similar woods in many other places. So walking
out into the forest with the purpose of trying to see and notice, I may find
unexpected things.</div>

I had a lot of fun making a bunch of fall-themed woodcuts in printmaking last semester. I was inspired by the beautiful views hiking Katahdin, particularly the fade from warm red-oranges to yellow-greens of the leaves on all the birch trees. I mixed and matched the woodcuts to get a variety of prints. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I would love to continue working with these blocks and make more prints!</div>

I am taking a digital art course this semester and so far we have kept it pretty basic, good skills but ones I pretty much already know! These are the two project I have done so far (..over 6 weeks, the class moves a little slow)!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Both are inspired by my time in Antarctica of course! Above is simply a digital painting so I just used various brush tools and matched the colors to a photograph I had of this seal skull! </div>

Since the beginning of this semester I decided I wanted to do the Mt. Katahdin winter hike through Maine Bound, the outdoor adventure center on campus which offers awesome trips!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I would have done it no matter what, but fortunately four of my friends joined me, as well as 5 great people from Maine Bound ! It was quite cold and very challenging, but incredible! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I loved every minute except for about 40 on the way back from the summit because there were some serious winds making the temperatures at least -20. The area is so beautiful!</div>

This image was done for our "mapping assignment". I like finding similarities between people and our environment, so I was inspired by the beauty of fjords (an aerial view), steep glacial carved valleys, and the permanence of these features, which are akin to the way our lives are carved by events and forever changed, or scarred. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I decided to try polyester plate lithography in printmaking last semester. I have always loved the look of many litho prints, the way you can get carefully rendered images, like those of M.C. Escher. Polyester plate is a newer technique, where you can "simply" just draw onto the plate with litho crayons, light and water fast markers (like micron, sharpie) and then put the polyester plate onto a hot plate to fuse the crayon or maker to it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The trickiest part is printing this plate. It works based on the opposing relationship of oil and water. Whatever you drew attracts the oil in the litho inks, so you sponge the plate withwater (and some gum arabic, won't go into) and then roll out your ink, and it should only stick where you drew! It should also stick more or less depending on how dark you drew, so shading should come out. I had a ton of trouble with my light shading being removed, and had to re-draw the plate with the face on it (I had 3 plates, one for each color) 5 times, and the gradation still did not come out nearly as nicely as I would have liked!</div>

Last semester is Printmaking 2, I chose to try monoprinting for my final project (we could chose any print technique, and any idea). I had gotten very frustrated doing polyester plate lithography for my previous project (will post about soon!) and wanted to try something new! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Monoprinting can be refreshingly straightforward for a print technique, it would appeal to someone who loves to paint (like me!), however you of course get only one print out of each go! I only used black ink, so I simply rolled it over my piece of plexiglass then took it off to bring out whites! The ink was water based which means it can be more easily removed. I used Q-tips to draw each of these animals because for some reason that fluffy tip is perfect for picking the ink up (and they can be dipped in water to get a really nice white). It is tricky to not remove too much ink too soon!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I chose to do prints of four large North-American animals that have been in trouble recently: threatened, endangered, etc. I did them in portrait-style with their eyes meeting the viewers so it would seem both more confrontational and accusative, and also more akin to a portrait of a person. This is supposed to send the message that it is our fault these animals are struggling, and we should value the health of their species more highly (as we value our own species). </div>

Over winter break I had the opportunity to work in the Dry Valleys in Antarctica! I was a field assistant with a group of 6: one of my professors and a graduate student here at UMaine, and 3 others from UC Santa Cruz.<br />
<br />
The project involved sampling and measuring hundreds of mummified seals that died usually thousands of years ago. These seals can reveal what past populations were, what they ate, and how these abundant animals responded to changes in the climate. This information will help reveal how they may react to current warming in the Antarctic.<br />
<br />
I learned a ton about seal identification, bones, the breakdown of bodies, and also about the area: the glaciers and landforms and history of research there.<br />
<br />
We kept pretty busy but I made the time to do a few sketches while we were there! 24 hours of sun made doing this more convenient! Had to bundle up a bit, but temps were usually warmer than back in Maine !<br />
<br />
I will do some more posts on my trip soon to share more pictures and stories !<br />

This summer was my 5th field season working with the <a href="http://www.nichols.edu/departments/glacier/index.html">North Cascade Glacier Climate Project</a>, and my second summer taking my own measurements of crevasses in order to observe their changes in accordance with the retreat of the glaciers.<br />
<br />

I really enjoy working on toned paper; it is nice to not have white as a base, because then it can be used as a strong highlight. The portrait above is just a sketch I did this past semester while at art club. Little stars surround her and she begins to become one with the sky</div>

I have been devoting time each day to work on something, only about 4-6 hours, sometimes more when there is a project I really want to get done. Whether it is a sketch, a submission for DesignCrowd, a blog post, or reading about glaciers for my research project, or planning out the thesis project I will need to complete before I graduate from UMaine.<br />

This character is done on a nice grey toned paper. After a pencil sketch I inked her with fine tip pens and then used a black colored pencil to shade her face and used the wonderful tool sharpie paint extra fine point white pen to add the highlights. </div>

Most days I longboard to get around the UMaine campus. This summer I decided to decorate the bottom with markers, pen, and acrylic paint. Before doing this, I sanded the surface, and then afterwards put a clear finish back over. </div>

The second linoleum relief print we made was done multi-colored in what is called the "suicide" style because you cannot fix a mistake (un-carve something) in the very particular process. In order to make sure we understood how to go about this our professor had us sketch each color layer on a sheet of tracing paper.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These are some prep sketches of for my idea. The theme of this assignment was <i>ephemeral, </i>so I was thinking about the way we consider time. We often consider rock as permanent, while in reality it weathers and crumbles, as did the Old Man of the Mountain. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It all depends on the timeline being considered, there is no one way to define a short or long amount of time; So, I compared the life of a human compared to the lifespan of a cliff.</div>

I made 8 prints trying out different color combinations. Each color is one layer of linoleum that I carved away after printing.</div>

One of the hardest things about printing is that it is often unpredictable. It is not nearly as controllable as many mediums and hours of work can go to waste. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For our second copper plate etching project we had to use a photopolymer layer as a ground. By placing objects on the plate with the layer and shooting intense UV light down on the plate, the 'shadows' of the objects are left. I chose a multitude of pebble I found on campus.</div>

The BeginningI feel like it is best suited to say I survived printmaking with my sanity! No, it was an awesome course and I am beyond happy to have learned what I did and gained the skills I now have. It is a class that requires hours upon hours of work in the studio however and much of it feels not artistically challenging but simply <i>grueling</i>.<br />
<br />
I will do a couple of posts of the different types of prints we made.<br />
<br />
To orient everyone with the print shop and the printing press the first week we simply did ink transfer print. Laser prints or photocopies have ink that can transfer. We applied wintergreen oil to these images we chose and ran them through the press on paper to come up with simple locker designs.<br />

Our first project was etching 2 copper plates. My first was of a mountain scene with textures that were meant to appear like multi-faceted rocks. I guess somewhat illustrative..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had around 10 prints of this image</div>

This drawing of Jackson was one of the artworks selected by the Dean of the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences to hang in Stevens Hall for the entire next academic year! It is a conte drawing of Jackson crouching and it is titled "Desolation". The title got mixed up with on of my other drawings that didn't get in, so next to this it said "Glacier Pond Reflections" in pastel :)</div>

I get around campus most of the year on the longboard, it's fast and super fun! When I have free time, I love to go on adventures, especially on the great bike trails on campus. Lately it has been so beautiful - 60's - 70's and sunny!</div>

I had plans to go and watch The Joy Formidable perform in Boston today at the House of Blues however since all of Boston is currently on lockdown, and the show is postponed until June 20, I am just at Jackson's house for the day (we were going to take train into Boston from Portland). So I have the free time to post finally!</div>

I have been taking printmaking this semester, it's a very time consuming class, but I really enjoy the challenges (..most of the time). </div>

After working on etching copper plates, we have been doing relief printing with linoleum. Next up.. screen printing! Hopefully it will be a bit of fresh air from all of the work of etching and then carving.</div>

For the Honors College course I am taking we had a project/paper due recently. I chose one of the texts we read this summer, Rachel Carson's <i>Silent Spring</i>, to do an artwork and short writing piece on. I loved this book, the powerful way it is written, and the message it presents. I chose printmaking as the medium because of the chemicals that are often used in certain processes.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>My
artwork is inspired by Rachel Carson’s revolutionizing stance on the deception
of the chemical companies. This piece is meant to be illustrative: capturing
events that occurred and their consequences in a manner that those who do not
understand the harm of pesticides may not have considered. A man in a suit
whose face is concealed by a gas mask is confronting a young boy. The man is
meant to represent an employee of the chemical industry who sells products such
as DDT. His hidden face alienates the boy by hiding the identity of the man who
seems to be playing the role of doctor. The suit indicates that he is not as
this role implies, only a wealthy man looking for profit despite the expense.
The gas mask is a cruel reminder that he is knowingly killing with DDT,
deceiving the public while ensuring his own safety. The boy embodies
generations to come, evoking sympathy from those who wish to keep the planet
healthy for the sake of the children and grandchildren who will inherit it.
Life springs from the boy: a tree sprouts from his back, flowers bloom in his
hand, a bird tweets on his head, and a fish jumps from the stream flowing along
his hips. This is meant to emphasize that the entire ecosystem will be affected
as soon as we introduce chemicals into it. These synthetic substances will not
lie dormant, they will transfer from the crops to the rivers, the insects,
birds, animals, and inevitably to mankind. The man is directly injecting the
boy with DDT, a challenge to people that this is essentially what we will be
allowing to happen to our children if we accept the use of such toxic chemicals
in our environment. Around the injection site the DDT spreads through the boys
veins, appearing to be a system of black, polluted rivers on his arm. Leaves
are already beginning to fall from the tree; the bird may not be joyously
singing, but crying in pain and protest. The stream is already coursing with
ribbons of black, the fish perhaps jumping from its beloved waters to escape; the
flowers are uprooted from the soil, presented to the man by the boy as if to
say ‘Look at the harm you are doing’. The color choice is simply meant to show
the black and white rigidity of industrial power: you are either rich and
important or poor and insignificant. The chemicals the man sells will suck the
color from the world as they devastate nature. The boy’s healthy color is
fading around the injection site, indicating that the bright pallor of skin
will soon subside to white. The effect of the use of black through the
printmaking processes is a reminder that in order to create art under this
discipline, certain materials must be used. The same is true for the use of
pesticides: but people must do everything in their power to prevent the most
harmful chemicals from being distributed, and employ the safest methods of
using them possible, despite cost or inconvenience.<o:p></o:p></div>

One week we didn't go to figure drawing class during at night an instead met on a Saturday to attend the L.C. Bates Museum. It is this really cool natural history type small museum. It has all assortments of taxidermy animals and bugs, as well as sea creatures, shells, and rock. It was awesome to spend a day there drawing whatever we wanted!!</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is the subsequent drawing I did after being told to loosen up and draw in-> out. My teacher gave my some Mylar (smooth, non-absorbant) paper, some solvent (non-toxic paintbrush cleaner) and some swabs. She told me to explore and just draw. I loved this media!! I love how this deer turned out, it looks very cool in person.</td></tr>

Practicing drawing hands.. I could only use pen, and I was supposed to start somewhere in the hand and work out towards the edges. Therefore, they can become warped, but they are interesting, and not too contoured.<br />

I have so many sketches from that class because we did lots of quick drawings and only a few long ones... So I will have to multiple post of my work, showing how I progressed from the beginning to the end of the class (quite a bit I think/hope)!<br />
