Katherine & Byshera's Circuit Project.
Artist Statement:
Byshera decided that she wanted to include a hat with lights around it considering that it is the winter. She has always been the type to embrace hats and thought that it would be something cool to make like up. It would be something flashy, but not too bright considering that there were going to be many lights within her circuits. Being that 10 lights were used it was evident that this wasn’t going to be an easy task at hand. Before we were going to make a B out of the lights, but that would require too many of them, so we decided to figure out another way. We made two series that were parallel to each other which each had 5 lights. Although, as a group we knew that if we really wanted to create this sculpture we would take the initiative. Considering that we didn’t want only one of us to walk away with a sculpture, I myself (Katherine) decided to create something that is personal to me and slightly defines me physically, which are my bows. I decided that since I have so many bows to put in my hair I could make another one. The headband started off plain and I proceeded to wrap black electrical tape to cover the entire thing and create a bow around it as well. This headpiece is to light up around the bow to accentuate the bow and make it unique like something many people have not seen much today. Creating these lights, I made two series that were parallel to each other, one with 3 lights and one with 4 lights. In the end, we would both walk away with sculptures that we created and be content because not only have they slightly defined our work ethic, but we can wear and present ourselves accordingly.
