For my cabinet I really wanted to add to my grandmother’s existing shelf system pictured above. Throughout my childhood I’ve always obsessed over these shelves that hold dozens of dressed forms called “style sensations” by the company The Latest Thing purchased from Paris over the years by my grandparents. I decided to created three outfits …
Joana Vasconcelos, born in 1971, is one of Portugal’s best-known contemporary artists and is widely exhibited internationally. She takes everyday objects and transforms them into something else you would never imagine in a surprising way. Her art has been exhibited regularly since the mid-1990s in Portugal and she was actually the first woman and the …
I chose to create my house at a hat in Bethlehem for this project. My house has been a constant source of entertainment, annoyance, and everything in between for the past few months, so I can’t imagine constructing any other building at this moment in time. I really enjoyed how it turned out, however, it …
Lerner’s Lot For my multiples project I knew I wanted to work with paper cones, and due to my love for winter I can’t see them representing anything other than pine trees. Because my family doesn’t celebrate Christmas, I never had the opportunity to go to a tree farm even though I know how much …

I really wanted to start my figure coming out of the wall and finishing in an unexpected way, which …
For my first attempt, I rolled the clay into different sized small abstract balls. I tried to make them look like rocks so that together they might appear as a nonrepresentational pile of rocks. Although I really liked the piece I created I still wanted to take it further. I completely smoothed the figure until …
For the indoor installation, I wanted to create something that would make every single person who enters my house look at it completely different. I wanted to change the way we move through space by playing on “the floor is lava” game. Instead of the norm of walking around every piece of furniture as we …
Spiral of Ruin Over the past 2 weeks of being at my house in Bethlehem, there have been workers coming every day to fix my backyard (in hopes of making it nicer). Before this picture was taken, we had a small shed, a cement archway, and a nice little mosquito infestation under our tree. Ever …
A picture of my parents on their wedding day because they mean the world to me. I’ve kept this picture in my wallet ever since my mom gave it to me years ago, it’s actually one of the few pictures I have of my parents from a younger age. My glasses: I cannot see. However, …
