Beyond the Spectrum Update! (03/07/2023)

Hey all!

Just a small update for my thesis!

I’m currently in the process of experimenting with my projector and sound and will upload images of those later!

Below is an update of how I plan to push this series further! During my senior year of undergrad, I animated a small bit of Maya Angelou reciting her poem “I rise.” For that animation I made it a goal to focus on the words and the accents in her poem. I remember wanting to find a way to bring these illustrations to life, and this was just one way of approaching it! What I noticed were the hints and small gaps of color where her pigmentation was present and areas where it was absent, in the animation and I found myself wanting to experiment with that concept in the illustrations! So here are a few new changes to the illustrations! I found the small hints of pigmentation to be the exactly what I felt was missing! 🙂

Hope all is well! 🙂
