With this project,  I will be exploring, working with, and accessing similarities, contradictions, ethics, specific material qualities, and family traditions. I will be experimenting with organic materials that can be composted and that can hold many forms, purposes, and functions. At the same time, I will be mitigating environmental degradation. By experimentally making charcoal with the remains of consumed foods – coffee, avocado pits and skins, and eggshells for example – I will search and play with the qualities of each substance to develop both mediums to work with and content for my artwork.

I can't help but see faces in all of my detailed photo documentation. Pareidolia  is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one detects an object, pattern, or meaning where there is none. Pareidolia is a specific but common type of apophenia (the tendency to perceive meaningful connections between unrelated things or ideas). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia
