"SCRIBBLE." (2024)

For this collection of drawings, I took four 4x6 in. pieces of cardstock, closed my eyes, and scribbled a random line with black pen. After that, I opened my eyes and sketched around the line with red and blue pen to create a full picture or scene. I cam up with the idea after I scribbled a line on a piece of paper to test my pen. When I saw the shape, I thought, "I could probably make a picture out of that." Later, I went to the store and purchased four picture frames, went home, and got to work. The titles of the pieces are as follows:

"Bernard," "the Death Bell," "Water," and "Gone Fishing."

"REINFORCEMENT LABELS" (2024)

The artwork represents how genericization influences our daily lives. The generic names of many products are often replaced with the most recognizable brand name. (e.g. Table tennis became "Ping Pong," face tissues became "Kleenex") This shows how easily influenced we are by large corporations' marketing tactics and "brand recognition" techniques. The concept as a whole, as well as this art piece, serves as a commentary on the psychological phenomena of genericization.
