Change in Events

This other side with the large hole represents how you life can suddenly seem so...empty. You was fine the day before, and all of a sudden you feel lost, forgotten. You are a living shell that seems to have no soul whatsoever.
You try to mend the pieces together with laughter, friends, family, or whatever satisfies you, in order to try to keep the hole filled.

But it still doesn't matter in the end because at this point, no matter how many jagged pieces are still hanging, they will never fill in what you lost.

Tree of Life

This side of the piece has a tree that represents how you grow throughout your life. Each patch of cloth i added to put the tree together represents how you add on to your knowledge of thinking.
Each colored string i used, even though there's not much difference in color, represents one's personality that may change. Depends on if it changes by will of choice, or perhaps by force. Some may have to change their personalities in order to adapt to their surroundings.

The leaves at the top signifies that you have finally reached your growth and have finally reached adulthood. Yet, there's still much more to learn each day as you tend to change color within the seasons that past by.

The Piece Itself

This is the finished piece called "A Change in Time"

It represents how your life can be good and easy going to the point where you are just sitting back and enjoying all that you have. There is absolutely nothing to worry about because all is just fine.
However, within a day your life can take a drastic change faster than you can have the chance to stop it.

Sources

One source that helped me to start off in an idea was this picture in the art magazine.


unknown, "Sculptor in Public" (2007), location unknown, article [from Laura Tansini, Sculptor by the Way, p. 22].



I chose this source because it sparked an idea of how i wanted to stitch a flower to start off my project. It then caused me to be creative because i was able to cut out the red petals and stitch the green buttons into the center to bring the flowered look together.

Second Chance to do things Right 3/24/08

okay, no class on this day. Great opportunity for me to get everything done. I really...REALLY had no idea for sure of what to do until Sunday night when i had this grand idea that came out of nowhere. Problem is...i had no time to put together T_T. Until now ^_^

Getting together 3/21/08

For my accumulation, I have wanted to send out e-mails soon. I'm basically looking for memories of any moment in time. Could be where you saw your favorite movie, you fell off your bike, your first kiss, the day your pet died, etc.
I'm basically looking for a variety of things because memories are never just happy, or sad. It's full of all kinds of emotions and that's what I'm aiming for all to see. What i plan to do with them? I have yet to know for sure but I'm thinking of a collage of everything.

Ritazza 3/19/08

Okay, brainstorming...
I had no idea whatsoever. Of course got different ideas from other people and their project.
And the fact that i wanted to do something that had to do with sewing/stitching.
Group 1: Drake, Allyson, Jen
Feedback: Get an idea, get inspired
May take a LOT of time- stitching/sewing

Group 2: Jin, David, Joe, Sheldon
Feedback: stitch people together through their clothes
could stitch patches together like a quilt

There was no group three because people kept coming and going as we all continued to talk in group two so there was constant ideas flowing everywhere. Enjoyed the discussion.
