this is my favorite project to date of both semesters. i loved the idea and the craft behind it and i felt as if or the first time i really grasped a project. i left the class with my initial idea, which was to sew the 6 canvas squares into 6 separate frames. i stamped every word by hand, distorted and altered the 6 illustrator images, iron transferred the images to the squares, and then stamped another supporting element. due to unforeseen circumstances i was forced to alter my original idea and create the cube made of 6 sets of needle working stretchers. i then sewed the panels in and i couldn't be happier with the end result. the words displayed on the panels of the cube are memories that have influenced me and my perception of the male population. the memories are simplified to the overall gist of what i took from those particular moments. the piece is nostalgic for me and it allowed me to look back over the past 3 years.
