Concentration Statement-Redo
The idea for my concentration stemmed from my experience growing up as a bilingual child, in which I constantly moved between the European and American cultures. I have grown accustomed to both the similarities and differences of the rest of the world to America and hope to highlight the beauty of both, in a concentration of landscapes. I began my concentration wanting to study contrasts of color, subjects, and environments in order to define what makes an American landscape. Ultimately, I decided that what I was truly capturing was my different memories of these places through painting, photographs, and mixed media.
