Revisiting my most important influences on how I have become the person I am today has been a priceless experience.  This family migration study has enlightened me to the value I should have been placing on the guidance, patiences, and commitment my grandmothers and parents have given me over the years.  I see now, after considerable exploration, that I have neglected to offer praise for these wonderful things and will no longer do so. 

I set up a tea party installation, inviting my parents and both of my grandmothers in honor of their efforts invested in me.  I have done my best with what I have to show each of these people how much I care for and respect them.

Mapping & Place:  Before taking this class I hadn't considered Google Earth an art making tool or the derive an art form.  I learned that I had not spent nearly enough time seeing and hearing my world around me.

Video became my art making tool of choice during this online studio.  I spent many late nights of endless fun and excessive perfectionism putting still images, video clips, audio clips, and transition / animation combinations together to make just the right statement.
