Yeary, Thumbnails


I'm doing a rendition of the artist's response to the 2011 Tsunami and other calamities that hit Japan. The display is currently at the Edison Place Gallery in New York. After reading this article, it inspired me to have a go at expressing the emotional chaos that nature certainly has within. My take on this detrimental calamity will come in three waves, to commemorate the three disasters that hit. The earthquake, the tsunami, and the atomic destruction. All will have a section - symbolized of course by different objects. Some of the pieces in the gallery have apples that are used to represent what the artist sees through his or her eyes. I thought using fruit might add and interesting take to it, and incorporating some of the pictures in the gallery, along with other pictures found through research on the tsunami, and the aftermath that ensued. There are also many interesting textural works in the gallery that I might use as a background or effect in my on work.
