Publishing and Presenting

 McLuhan states "The Museum has become a storehouse of human values, a cultural blood blank" 

  1. I was extremely excited to take part in the art show because the last time I took part in an art show was the state art show and I lost in the final round. Honestly losing in the state art show in high school killed a little bit of confidence in high school. I really appreciated being able to put my art on display without the fear of it being compared to someone else's as if it was a competition. I also gained an appreciation for printing the images as well because it makes you consider how important resolution and photo quality is. Also, it is such a thrilling feeling to have a book published with your own artwork in it. The book is something I can always look back on and remember as the starting point. The book is a steppingstone for me, and I really look forward to publishing more books of my artwork. I someday hope to see some of my artwork in a museum and to be apart of the storehouse of human values.

My World

  I live by three words; Progress Not Perfection. These three words embody my art journey entirely. My art journey started when I was a first-year student in high school, and it consists of three mediums; music writing, photography, and fashion and design. I dabble a little in cinematography, but primarily in the other three mediums. My personal motto with art is, especially photography, to capture something today to create inspiration for tomorrow. A medium in art is merely a system used to translate a message. The message should not only transcend the medium, but it should transcend time as well. Art should portray a message that is not only significant today, but the message should be remarkable to anybody at any point in time.  The message I want to spread through my art is Live, Love, Laugh. I believe that to get through life one must be capable of loving and laughing. McLuhan states that “Our time presents a unique opportunity for learning by means of humour—a perceptive or incis

Where I'm Headed

  My original idea was to create a video expressing my artistic interest and where I want my art to go in the future , but after talking to some friends of mine, who are artists as well, they suggested that I start a website . My friends explained to me how imperative it is for every artist to have a website where their art can be on display 24/7 365. A website is like a never-ending art gallery for an artist. My website is also a representation of future projects I have and where I want my artwork to go moving forward. I was nerv ous at first about displaying my art on a we b site because I did not think it was up to pa r, but I remembered a quote from the McLuhan book that read “We have no art. We do everything as well as we can.” This quote stuck with me because it provides me with a sense of reassurance. My website will touch on the many mediums that I am trying to be involved in. These mediums include Videography/ Cinematography, Photography, Fashion & Design, and St

Björklunden Horror Commercial

 Björklunden Horror Commercial It is not the location or the thought of being in the middle of nowhere that will make you nervous the first time. The name alone can cause the hairs on the back of your neck to stick up when you hear it for the first time. Björklunden. Going to school in a small town in Wisconsin is enough for a person from a big city. Björk was a new level of discomfort for me. You always arrive in Björk late in the evening when it is pitch black. Being surrounded by wilderness with nothing or no one remotely close to you for miles, Björk is right out of a horror movie. As I spent more time at Björk, I soon began to appreciate. After reading McLuhan’s theories on time and space I came to realization, not only about Björk but about all the places we inhabit or visit in a lifetime. The time that we have in any given space is limited, and many times we waste the time we have in those spaces. As time moves on, we find ourselves cherishing the memories we made with people in
