True Grit

Visual poem for those lovely Hawaiians

Note: The sign does not dictate the words that will be in the poem and are only significant to the meaning of the picture.

We are legion

Pages 32-34 have many biblical references, one likening both pigs and criminals to demons. 

Themes ?

Returning to to nature, returning to archaic forms, and returning to darkness

Nature Devours Worlds

When I look to the sky nothing returns

My gaze except wonder in the pale blue.

So I look to the earth in hopes of turns

But only see everything of you

Looked to the floor for wooden boards but no

More green than plants for recycling from

the landfills of the free and the home for

bravery that now has taken our home

Away from the breath cooler than the air

of the atmosphere of safe and comfort

returned to the earth Our homes to nature's

disastrous paintings all in green hues

but we have learned The fight has taken us

to a place where green cannot be safety

Frankly colorful

Here is my color palette for Frankenstein, which should have been a video but half of it was corrupted and so i lost the colors when they were standing by themselves. 

What hides in the wood (the green that makes up the stem and center if the flower): is for secrecy and the danger of privileged knowledge. 

Dangerously clear ( the yellow of the flower): is representative of nature, which is prefect, but horrifying. The green even seeps into it as a representation of how little we understand about nature and how dangerous the secrets we've yet to learn could be. 

Parch-that's not what I-ment (the grey background): this is to represent the texts in the texts in the text of Frankenstein.(yeah, I'm confused, too) not only does grey seem apropos because paper that gets water stained either turns grey, or makes the ink run, but also because very thin is colored in an opinion, seeing as the entire story is written to somebody. 

Visual 3x3 of Farmington (I kind of focused on eduactaion)

So, just in case it needs the clarification, the pictures are as follows:
Mallet school
Academy Hill
Mt Blue Middle School
Mt Blue High School
University of Maine at Farmington
A student teacher at Mallet school
(Now there's a bit of a shift away from one's own education and the focus is more on one's [if one were to have any] children.)
so, the first day of school for your children
the first time that your little girl performs in front of her school with some school friends
and finally, as your child begins to grow into a young adult, Mt Blue Campus, to remind you how much things can change.


Honorable mentions from google images:

Diving into the wreck: indie style.

This book is almost an autobiography of Adrienne Rich. She has a very gritty and rough writing style. She writes a lot abut uncomfortable topics like rape or sexism. 

I designed the record cover to emulate these uncomfortable situations, which is why it's so oddly shaped. And the front side is all of the themes, overlapping and rough, still legible but uncomfortable to read. 

The backside if the record cover is a portrait of the author, alluding to the Rosie the riveter.
