Pictures of Ashley

Textures in Cooper

The Best of Audre-The language within her

Out in the middle of nowhere.

I liked the blue background on her. I wanted to show that she is a literature major with her book, holding it and smiling. She really enjoys reading.

Audrey likes nature so I wanted her to be with the nature, in a tree.

Strangers

here is mabel making me a root beer float.

These were some sweet old ladies in Mabels.

I asked this guy if I could take a picture of him. He said, "Sure, but I don't know what it's for". I did tell him what it was for but I guess he didn't hear me.

Around Cooper, TX

Here are some images of Cooper. I haven't been able to post that many pictures or articles because my nephew recently died. Don't worry everyone I'll be fine.

I liked this old house.

I found this interesting article about a documentary "Our City Dreams". Its about 5 female artists: Kiki Smith, Nancy Spero, Ghada Amer, Marina Abramovic and Swoon . Their imagination comes together with their intersection of location. Since i am an artist I would like to watch this and see how their imaginaition comes to life.

Artists/photographers

The six photographers/artists that influenced me are: Jo Ann Callis-photographer, Gerhard Richter-painter, Ansel Adams-photographer, John Arsenault-photographer, John Bramblitt-painter

art show

Olafur Eliasson: Take Your Time Dallas Museum of ArtNovember 9, 2008 – March 15, 2009...This was the show I was talking about in the last post.

I am looking at an article from GlassTire.com. The one I am looking at is Olafur Eliasson at the DMA by Michael Odom January 2009. I have not been to the Dallas Musuem of art but i have been to the Fort Worth Modern a few times. It think it is very interesting that the artist isn't only concerncd about what the audience sees, but also to what the audience smells, hears, and feels. I would reallly enjoy seeing this artist's work because he uses color for the audience to see and think about, really look deep into the artist's work.
