Piece by piece : [an honors thesis (HONRS 499)]

Abstract

This artistic exhibition combines the magic of watercolor with a glimpse into the ancient past. This body of work examines the interconnectedness of society and how the ancient past influences the future. This exhibition consists of seven large watercolor paintings which showcase experimental watercolor techniques. These experimental techniques are combined with images from ancient Mexican civilizations such as the Maya, and also Spanish-Colonial inspired images. These paintings were inspired by a vacation to Mexico which stirred my mind to consider how the past influences the future and how the world interacts and works together Piece by Piece.
