Walk 2: The Heat

 Walk 2: Desire Lines

The average weather in Phoenix is 110 per day. However there are still some insane people that like to get their exercise in the middle of the day, such as my father. I asked him to take me on his route and do shortcuts of what he does to help him stay out of the heat as much as he can. I discovered there is a lot of shade, and shortcuts to make it not as unbearable, but it was actually horrible. I also included of desired lines I noticed on our walk.

smell the roses

 For my walk, I decided to do sense of smell and all of the different smells I encountered within my walk. Instead of doing 2; 20 minute walks, I decided to do 1; 40 minute walk. My sense of smell is definitely my strongest, and is a blessing and a curse. Some days it's nice to smell a salty air scented candle, or fresh baked cookies from the oven, but when I sit next to someone and they have on the most horrendous body spray, or the smell of food after it's been in my fridge and molded. I deeply inhaled and tried to smell every last molecule throughout my walk. Wet mud  Hot asphalt dead grass horse crap bird crap pinecone-waiting for fall sewer hot metal trash

Final Project Proposal

Image
 Abstract: This project that I'm going to try to achieve is going to be similar to my project of "alcohol kills". I believe that addiction in our lives is such a huge issue, and I feel like it's truly not talked enough about. This project is going to be me going into public spaces and holding a sign that says "addiction kills". This is somewhat of a trend that's been happening for years, and I think it will be successful. This is a topic that I'm truly so passionate about and want to maybe even talk to some people about it. Artist Statement: I've known so many addicts in my life, and still have that continue to this day. Many of my family members were/are addicts and even went to jail because of the chains that hold them down. I think that our society points to partying and drugs to be something to aspire to and it looks inviting.

Killer

  Final Project: I knew for this final project that I was going to do something truly meaningful, and something that I am connected to and another piece of a project that I truly enjoyed making. The title of this work would be “Killer”. In this project I chose to do another series to my last project which was Alcohol Kills. This project was kind of a blanket statement over everything that was said in that project, but I wanted this project to cover every addiction possible. I don’t believe that people know all the different types of addictions there truly are so I decided to do research and find out the highest forms of addiction in America. According to valleyspringsrecovery.com , Alcohol addiction takes over 2.6 million annually, nicotine kills 8 million people each year, 1.3 billion users, and Cannabis use disorder is 52.2 million. These are just 3 types but there are many quiet killers that are forgotten; food, porn, gambling,etc. I chose to do almost a silent protest within my...
