Last Thursday's field trip took me to areas of louisville that I've never seen before. It's easy to get excited about the recent developments in the Ville, like the restaurants and housing built at Cardinal Town or the shiny new KFC Yum center. With state of the art accommodations popping up left and right, one has to wonder if there is any money left to clean up Louisville. Our city is known nationwide for air pollution. After visiting rubber town and the landfill site I wondered what has been done to help clean up these toxic parts of town. Thankfully, Louisville's recent community efforts have been helping improve our environment. Concentrations of the most common carcinogen found in our atmosphere have been lowered 75% since 2005.
images of final project This piece is an installation, including leftover materials from projects that fell through, past drawings/doodles, as well as personal elements like a label from my perscription. The "My 16 year old boyfriend..." poster is an excerpt from my highschool diary. By using the materials I had on hand, enabled me to breath new life into past projects. This plays into my concept, which is all about starting where you are with what you've got, while also acknowledging what got you here.
