For this image, I manipulated the image of my tape shoes in Photoshop. This pattern design reflects the recurring pattern of the soles on my shoes. Pattern designs can be used for various functions such as pillow designs, wallpaper art, book covers, and much more. This image has a focus on repetition with a slight emphasis on muted colors. The design of the shoes in the repeating pattern is more simple compared to my actual tape shoe design. Many pattern designers take on a more simplified approach. I was very inspired by my Mother's art because her focus is on pattern design.

Momento
Overview
The definition of a momento is anything serving as a reminder or warning. For this project, I based my momento off of a memory of mine from this Summer. This Summer I was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis, which is an auto-immune disease that targets the large joints in your body and causes those joints to fill up with liquid fluid. There isn't much research on this disease but it was a crucial reality check for me. I chose clay, fabric, and thread as my three items to use. The clay serves as the joint and is the heaviest material used. The weight of this momento is very important for the success of this piece. The shape of the clay serves as one of the main elements in this piece. The fabric represents the skin wrapped around the hard liquid fluid in my elbow joint.

Fluxus Box
Overview
Fluxus began as a small but international network of artists and composers, and was characterised as a shared attitude rather than a movement. The movement lasted until the end of the 1970's. Many Fluxus artists created more plastic forms of art, such as boxes filled with various items (often called Fluxkits), prints, and Fluxus films.
I used the elements of color and space in my Fluxus Box, specifically in the use of pattern design. For the outside of the box I created various floral patterns with paint to emphasize the happy ending of the movie 27 Dresses. In the movie, the main character Jane had many roadblocks such as her sister coming to visit and falling in love the Jane's boss who she had loved for years. Jane had a dark red planner book, which was an object I recreated in this box and her sister Tess wore a bight yellow dress the first night her and Jane's boss met. The objects in the box are very light and beachy-themed to resemble the last scene in the movie where Jane gets married on the beach.
