I did not have any direction going into doing my xerox project. In fact I ended up making two trips to Kinkos before finishing it. First of all the looks I was getting xeroxing myself was project in itself. It was definately an experience. Once I had the xeroxes I went home and laid them on the floor and for some reason I saw a butterfly. Maybe it was because butterflies part take in most of my art works but I returned back to Kinkos to make more copies to form my butterfly. I decided to add the quote "butterflies don't lie" because I just believe that it is true. Butterflies, whether they are applying to seeing them and feeling peaceful or getting them in your stomach, don't lie. I also enjoyed the fact that you can see my butterfly tattoo and I was making a butterfly. I thought it made a statement. Although it came out a little strange the form of a butterfly was definately apparent. You can be the judge of how it turned out.
Evaluations of xerox projects:
Adam Bass: I liked the fact that you only used your hand to do your project. The hands had all of the fingers touch which I thought was very interesting.
Coleen Kumka: This project was unique because there was color added. I really liked the pink and yellow. It made the xerox stand out. It was also interesting to see the message written on the projects. Especially the one that said be yourself because the xerox makes everyone pure.
Shawn Rubin: This project was made by using a digital machine. The layout came out nice. I liked the fact it was in three different areas and had two heads. I also liked how the background was red.
Ashley Noeson: This xerox was made in the form of a collage. The copies of the body put together randomly came out very nice.
Perri Landsberg: This xerox project was very long. I liked how you used the different body parts and attached them. Even though they did not go together the copies that were attached flowed together nicely.
Matthew Norton: I liked this xerox because it was 3D. The idea of putting on a cardboard box gave the project more character. It was also really original the materials that we xerox, for example the back pack and pockets. Overall it came out very nice because motion was incorporated and it looked as though fire was holding up the head.
John Dolan: I liked the fact that you played with it. It was cool to see that it faded into white. There were four hands on the top and on the bottom it had not only hands but a face too. It came out very nice.
Victor Valery: This project was the first to show legs with hair on it. Although it was not exactly appetizing it came out very nice. I liked that you xeroxed as much as possible. Well done.
Taylor Asermely: I liked this project because the concept of the tree. The fact that you made a tree with hands was a good message. The xerox flowers also added a great touch to the piece.
Ciara Ross: The part that stuck out to me the most was the orange ring. It was different to see that jewlery was xeroxed as well as body parts. It put a new twist on the project. It was also interesting to see the hands as the feet and the feet as the hands. It made the viewer guess what you were thinking.
MaKayla Dorland: I liked the fact that you used your hands in this project because you use them alot in everyday life. The tattoo that was xeroxed came out very nice aswell it was nice to see someone elses tattoo showing. THe tattoo says life which is a statement in itself. The leaves and how it over followed out of the frame were nice as well.
Ryan McCallister: This one was also very orginal because it was done on a lamp that was capable of being turned on. The xerox's glued to the lamp made a whole new statement when lit up. They became almost transparent it was very cool.
Bernadetter Miller: The first thing that stood out to me in this project were the double faces in the center. It was cool that there were two heads, a middle, and feet. I also liked the fact that there was different writing all over the poster. For example, palm readings $10 and property of the government, this gave story to the piece.
Murad Fadhul: It was interesting to see that henna designs were incorporated in this project. The hands were enlarged and there was a tracing of a real hand. It was put together nicely and it was cool to hear that five photo copies were made to enlarge the hand.
Laura Perttunen: I like the fact that you incorporated dragons into your xerox. It was cool to see the dragon tail made out of hands. It was original to see the different idea of what the xerox could make.
