TIMELINE
This page documents the order in which the core series of my work, The Shadowbox Series, was created.
2022
Caught in a Memory
The first in The Shadowbox Series, this initial exploration would define the style moving forward. Introducing common elements like the Moon cycle, rabbits, gore, and the border, creating the shadowbox like style.
Agere Drawings
The sub-series of crayon drawings that go alongside the print work came next. This ongoing series of innocent crayon drawings are juxtaposed with the graphic imagery in the print work I do.
What He Did To Me
The second print in the series, this explores my sexual assault in vivid detail. This piece introduces the Commodity, a reoccurring image in many pieces.
Gut Me Like A Rabbit
The first in the Pen & Ink sub-series, this piece was vital as I explored whether the boarder was necessary or not. By the end, I decided the boarder was a vital component to the compositions, firmly establishing the shadowbox format.
No More Pain
Continuing to explore what this format is as well as my traumas and feelings, the Pen & Ink sub-series becomes a quick way to hammer out emotional pieces compared to block prints.
A Trip Into My PTSD Spaces
The first zine in The Shadowbox Series, this piece plays with type and image to enhance the storytelling as I processed my PTSD spirals that were so common for me at the time.
You Never Forget Your First Time
My first copperplate print! With this I continued to explore my sexual assault while playing with cute yet disturbing imagery.
2023
Hanging Around
My first silkscreen print! With this I played with color in this format, and left disappointed. While I don't think it looks awful, I feel like it doesn't quite work right.
Let's Play Jump Rope!
A desire to implement the agere crayon drawings into my print work, I used further projects in my screen printing course to explore how this could work.
Cope
A second copperplate print, this time implementing color. Originally I was going to do a simple color job, but I felt that didn't fit. Instead I mixed my crayon drawings in through the color process, as well as on the boarder of the image.
My Feelings Are Not Appropriate
My first Mokulito print! I decided to explore my time in a cult with this one. I found the process fun and unique!
You Tricked Me
A second and less successful mokulito print. While the composition is fine, I messed up on the process and was not able to produce as many copies as I wanted before the block became unusable.
They Use Me I Lose Me
A smaller and quicker drawing meant to explore the extreme instances of disassociation I was experiencing at the time.
When I Look Back At It, All I Remember Is Fear
With this multi-color print, I wanted to see how adding a photograph would work. I want to do more like this.
I Saw It
Another in the Pen & Ink series, this time exploring trauma from my early childhood.
Stitching Together A Broken Self
A third mokulito piece, this one focusing on my journey of healing.
Commodity Shirt
A project in the screen printing class where I had to make a shirt. A few shirts were made, all with the same commodity design.
Suicide Pack
The final screen print class project, where I had to make a set of stickers and packaging.
What If Its Too Hard
The final college piece. A woodblock print in red exploring suicidal thoughts.
Every Friend Is An Enemy
