Do they even want to know if that person’s okay?” And then, while collecting Band-Aids, I realized the variety of colors that are made, but how even then the bandages might not match someone’s skin tone but they end up being used because they stop someone from bleeding and help them heal. " Are you okay? are a series of small sculptures and prints ruminating on the nature of injury using a wide variety of found material, including bandages, buttons, string, lace, thumbtacks, and band-aid wrappers.

By bringing up the contrast and adding yellow tones to its original colors and focus, allowed me to bring an aging quality to the image in a nostalgic desire to recreate a stereo image. This achieved aesthetic resembles those seen through a viewmaster reel. A viewmaster is a device originally marketed as a way for viewers to enjoy stereograms of colorful and picturesque tourist attractions. Enhancing its primary structure by means of a collage that focuses on two dimensional shapes and amplified textures with hints of yellow on the edges reading into the found color codes. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986773/fcea2ce03b_eight_hundred.jpg" border="0" width="400" height="600" width_o="400" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986773/fcea2ce03b_eight_hundred_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986773/e829ad2cc3_eight_hundred.jpg" border="0" width="400" height="600" width_o="400" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986773/e829ad2cc3_eight_hundred_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986773/f3db92f326_eight_hundred.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="531" width_o="756" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986773/f3db92f326_eight_hundred_o.jpg" align="left" /> (2) _________________________ (1) Digital image, image documentation (2)Pile-age (overlapped) Monoprint collage on Rives BFK & Digital Print. 17" x11" (20″ × 16″) August 2010.

An anonymous opinion spoken, first walks silently, then surreptitiously. If it somehow appears in the borders of my recognition, surely through repetition I will become aware of it. My natural stubborn way turns the endeavor of object making into a sound-filled, shameful felt hat that fits the corner; seemingly pulled by means of threads, corresponding lines meet numerous sewn triangles into concurrent strings that take hold of the white gallery walls. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986664/c1b6df1941_eight_hundred.jpg" border="0" width="423" height="600" width_o="423" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986664/c1b6df1941_eight_hundred_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986664/c02f6602a6_eight_hundred.jpg" border="0" width="421" height="600" width_o="421" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986664/c02f6602a6_eight_hundred_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986664/93f21f6a5a_eight_hundred.jpg" border="0" width="421" height="600" width_o="421" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986664/93f21f6a5a_eight_hundred_o.jpg" align="left" /> {<img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986664/2e538d7368_eight_hundred.jpg" border="0" width="400" height="600" width_o="400" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986664/2e538d7368_eight_hundred_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986664/34f4aaf1f5_eight_hundred.jpg" border="0" width="400" height="600" width_o="400" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986664/34f4aaf1f5_eight_hundred_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986664/b324850a42_eight_hundred.jpg" border="0" width="414" height="600" width_o="414" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986664/b324850a42_eight_hundred_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986664/eecd4d8448_eight_hundred.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="450" width_o="800" height_o="538" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986664/eecd4d8448_eight_hundred_o.jpg" align="left" /> image 4}<img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986664/278cbe836e_eight_hundred.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="471" width_o="800" height_o="563" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986664/278cbe836e_eight_hundred_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986664/28890b16d4_eight_hundred.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="800" height_o="533" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986664/28890b16d4_eight_hundred_o.jpg" align="left" /> * This installation piece was shown as part of the Exhibition: Here and Elsewhere.Curated by Erin Riley-Lopez <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986664/161.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="1008" height_o="672" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1986664/161_o.jpg" align="left" /> Here and Elsewhere featured a range of work by 36 artists from throughout the metropolitan area, all of whom participated in the Artist in the Marketplace (AIM) Program at The Bronx Museum of the Arts, one of the most celebrated and competitive programs for emerging artists in the country. _____ (1) Corner shaped hat on corner, Auditive Felted Hat, dimensions variable http://cargocollective.com/gabrielaalva/Pilars http://cargocollective.com/gabrielaalva/following/gabrielaalva/Pilars Sun, 11 Sep 2011 03:24:11 +0000 Gabriela Alva Clemens 1985400 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1985400/5419cfc3dd_eight_hundred.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="800" height_o="533" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1985400/5419cfc3dd_eight_hundred_o.jpg" align="left" /> This installation sculpture was part of : BRONX BLUE BEDROOM PROJECT BBBP an artist-run project located in the bedroom of the artist Blanka Amezkua in Mott Haven, South Bronx.

No one can explain how they got there. Yet, when people saw them, they claimed it was a reminisce of the findings at the banks of the Tiber river. The discovery of the vaulted pile of mattresses appears housing a large number of feline looking shapes. Locals suggest the shapes resemble a feline shaped au-pair which seems to be breast feeding a number of them. It is tempting to jump to conclusions as to why they are all there, and to which period in history they belong to. Archaeologists have been called upon, to prove if the story is actually real. These findings will be open to the public, for a short period of time. It is suggested to be discrete while visiting the site, due to the possibility of the pieces being of great value to the community. Uptown Nannies, first was created through 99c store objects, I remade this piece by magnifying its dimensions and trying new materials. On the left side you can see a movement sensor, for which I recorded a cat's meow with my voice, with the intention of shifting the viewer's reaction to the usual ding-dong that has been present more often at galleries to avoid the user's proximity to the piece. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1985400/IMG_1580.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="750" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1985400/IMG_1580_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1985400/IMG_1623.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="750" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1985400/IMG_1623_o.jpg" align="left" /> {image10}<img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1985400/IMG_1554.jpg" border="0" width="500" height="750" width_o="500" height_o="750" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1985400/IMG_1554_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1985400/IMG_1614.jpg" border="0" width="493" height="750" width_o="493" height_o="750" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1985400/IMG_1614_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1985400/IMG_1558.jpg" border="0" width="500" height="750" width_o="500" height_o="750" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1985400/IMG_1558_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1985400/IMG_1599.jpg" border="0" width="500" height="750" width_o="500" height_o="750" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1985400/IMG_1599_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1985400/IMG_1611.jpg" border="0" width="500" height="750" width_o="500" height_o="750" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1985400/IMG_1611_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1985400/IMG_1545.jpg" border="0" width="500" height="750" width_o="500" height_o="750" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/140594/1985400/IMG_1545_o.jpg" align="left" />
