Kelly Magee- Scale

The concept for my assignment that comes from an article I had read about the Kureig and the consequences of its consumerist gratifications. The machines have gotten recently popular, especially in the last year. This is a problem because the specifically designed k cups are NOT recyclable. This a pretty tough issue, considering that over 9 billon k cups were sold last year. So, I decided that an urban setting with pretty scenery would be a stark contrast to k cup trash cans filled with k cups that cannot be recycled. Coffee grounds litter the sidewalks from busted containers.

Project 4- Xochimilco in my sink

In this project, I wanted to explore how our imaginations create worlds in our living spaces. This is influenced by our experiences through travel, relationships, and the even the second-hand knowledge that we gain through others' experiences and stories. These photos were taken in a place called Xochimilco which is located in the state of Mexico near Mexico City. I often travel to Mexico and, because of that, my house is full of items that I have collected and chosen to represent my time and my memories there. The sink image is taken of a bathroom in my house. As I travel, I bring back pieces of other places to my living surroundings. Because of this, my surroundings are forever altered. This is a unique blending of two places that will never meet but have been linked together through items, photographs, and memories.

Scale Project

There are some people in the world, such as myself, who can't function when they wake up until they have a cup of coffee. My thoughts aren't coherent, like they're swimming around in my head, until that first cup of joe. I attempted to depict that incoherent dreamy state through this scale & proportion project.

The more warm version-

For this project, my original idea was to make my cat look huge. It was difficult for me to try to imagine  her as huge without having a human in contrast beside her, so I came up with this idea. Her name is Mittens and she adores popcorn, so I thought it would be funny if it looked like she was a large cat that was being offered popcorn by a small person.

The recent scale project inspired this work crafted from a gator picture I had taken at the Serpentarium in Wilmington, NC. Archival ink on Sateen cloth. 20 x 40 inches. Like the other works in this series, the cloth will be mounted on wood and covered in archival art wax.
