For this project, I think that I really want to be able to explore the cycle of things, especially pertaining to objects and artists. I think it's interesting how we use objects and then throw them out, then as artists we elevate them back up again to art. It creates a cycle of use, destruction, and re-purpose that I think is critical in the way we as artists should deal with objects in our environment. When thinking about this idea of the found object and and work that explores those ideas, I immediately gravitated towards the work of Robert Rauschenberg. I think he has a beautiful style and quality to his work that relates these ideas quite nicely. I really like some of his larger prints and "collaged" printing style, and I think that I would be able to translate a similar look in a digital realm. It'll be interesting to see where this one goes!
(included are some examples of Rauschenberg's work that I feel my piece might pay homage to)
