Brittany Farley: Memento

Textured Greece

Materials: Paper, Blue Ink, Styrofoam

3inX3inX4in

For this project I took my memory from Greece when I went there 2 summers ago. The materials I chose were distinctly from the textures that I remember from Greece. The blue paint was from the blue water, buildings, and rooftops. The white styrofoam covered in white was a representation of the white cement walls. I found this momento project to be really interesting because it helped me bring back so many memories from this trip that were so personal.

"The body is the primary mode of perceiving scale."

This is a picture from when I went to Greece two summers ago! This was a moment in my life where I was truly astonished by the size of not only the Parthenon but the entire Acropolis Hill. It was truly breath taking. I can still imagine the climate and smell of this moment.

"Capacity of objects to serve as traces of authentic experience."

Traveling is truly so amazing in so many ways. It teaches you about yourself, your surroundings and makes you so much smarter. The authentic experience of every destination is something so unique to everyone.
