Out of Sight Out of Mind

Layers are not only seen visually within this piece but are also indicative of our lives as well. Each person is unique and there is value in every human life, which was the intended concept for this piece. The unique value within each human life is translated through the idea of fingerprints and toe prints alike.

The base layer of this piece is a screen printed floral motif symbolizing growth. Each repeat was then manipulated by folding the fabric in different manners to create more textural elements and create variation to further reinforce the idea of individuality. Layered on top of each repeat are toe prints and fingerprints used to create a pattern in and of themselves, but to directly tie in the idea of the unique nature of each person, similarly how we are each unique we each have unique finger and toe prints. The final layer within this piece are the enlarged fingerprint motifs completed in three-dimensional glitter which detail further the beauty that is each individual.  

This piece jumpstarted my entire collection of senior works focused on growth, the individual, and process and progress over perfection.
