My final image is a digital collage using the paper bed, paper free form, mask identity and a photograph of water on a windshield in a car wash.  The combination of colors and textures unifies the piece and the variation of scale and asymmetrical composition adds interest to the image.

Memento

My memento is a broken make-up mirror, old duct-tape and an old eye glass lens.  My memento represents our need to seek perfection.  We do this in the way we dress. We do this with applying make up to our faces, painting our nails and for some the extreme of plastic surgery. The message is intended to ask to viewer to look into themselves to see true beauty and appreciate what they are and what they have been given.  The piece represents a struggle to finally accepting ones self as they are, faults and all.

Mask identity project:

The mask identity project  was an exploration of ones self, as well as a test of how to manipulate foreign materials.  The mask was constructed of galvanized wire, tracing paper, glue, and a few strips of vellum.  Originally, the form was intended to be a television set.  This representing, having grown up with MTV, when it was music television.  I later chose to work with a circular form and had an astronaut helmet, or a diving helmet as the models.  Ironically, I built the form over an Elvis lamp.  Music has always been a huge part of my life growing up, and has continued to be what defines me literally.  I have been a DJ for 18 years in Gainesville, Florida.  For years, I have been know as DJ Donna to many.  It is interesting to represent a decade of music and people associate you with this. The 80s, is an will always be my favorite genre of music.  My final solution for my masked identity was to create a mask that would conceal my head. I dressed and made my face up, just as I would if I were working. I surrounded myself with my records. I chose my favorite Smiths song, "Unloveable". I wrote the lyrics and photo shopped them into the background as an added texture and personal touch.  The photograph has transparency as an added reinforcement as to how connected I am with my music and my career.  The most enjoyable thing in life is doing what you love and being yourself. I express myself through music, therefore my identity, revolves around my music and what the experience I create when I am my identity, DJ Donna.
