"The Body is the primary mode of perceiving scale." This photo was taken at the top of Bell Mountain in North Georgia.When you are so high up in the mountains it really makes you understand how small we all are in this world. All the buildings in the photo look like white dots compared to the lake and mountains, it really makes me realize how vast nature is. "Capacity of objects to serve as traces of authentic experience." In this picture the towels my best friend, Erin, and I are holding are very special to us. She got them for us to have for when she came to visit me in Spain, and since then we always use them when we are together. The towels serve as traces of authentic experience because we have taken them to many adventures, the first one being our time in Spain.

Fluxus Box

Room Fluxus Box Materials: Wood, Nails, Pins, Glue, Masking Tape, Balsa Wood, Acrylic Paint, Sculpey, White Charcoal, Fabric, Paper, and Plastic Flowers Dimensions: 15in x 11.5in x 11.5 in In Process Professional Artist Statement My Fluxus Box was based off the movie Room.

Therefore, I used sculpey to make the shape into a long oval that sits horizontally in ones hand to represent a body lying on a flat surface. The spoon pops out of the blackness, to emphasize how seeing that particular object allowed me to comprehend the situation. The spoon also creates a reflection, which ties back to the idea of escaping the confusion. Research https://www.philamuseum.org/collections/permanent/51617.html https://ww
