It is such a universal subject and symbol in addition to my love of water, swimming etc. For this piece, I used a large block of ice (which I froze myself) as my main subject. As time progresses, the ice will naturally melt and change from its solid to its liquid state. Much like all of us, we change with time, maturing mentally, emotionally, physically with day to day efforts. However, there are times in our lives that cause radical change in those areas: puberty, mission, marriage, tragedies, etc. This is represented with the salt. It acts as a catalyst that increases the rate of changing which is already occurring. The state of water is transported on a journey into the tract of the tube, having the ability to twist and turn, much more flexible and "fluid" then the previous, frozen state. The water filled tube with excess length stands still waiting with great potential, having the choice to go where ever it needs to go. The coolest thing was the texture formed as the dissolved salt water ran down the sides creating a wood like texture.</span></span><b><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-bidi-Courier New";color:black;mso-themefont-family:";font-size:10.5pt;color:text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p></span></span><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhckGbrW_ESo4_5sl0idx2oKGwN_oHhm6W-Ns0NMddPRZxsC1fmW75tlbpYHBrdq4ykNXO12Ezwlug9v0XBDmWXnKBJwYvskh5xAQ5Ik3l61wYUIZbpjcdzckqRgUtIefU9UbJkahBliKVQ/s1600/IMG_2080.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhckGbrW_ESo4_5sl0idx2oKGwN_oHhm6W-Ns0NMddPRZxsC1fmW75tlbpYHBrdq4ykNXO12Ezwlug9v0XBDmWXnKBJwYvskh5xAQ5Ik3l61wYUIZbpjcdzckqRgUtIefU9UbJkahBliKVQ/s600/IMG_2080.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522861915533054114" style="display: block;

I collected quarter sheet flyers for a year and invited others to do so as well. The piece is about social stigmas and interacting with strangers, going out of your comfort zone. Viewers were invited to break through the curtain and enter inside the space. I also documented via video both an acceptance and a rejection of people's petitions. Those videos were playing on loop.</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR9UA9_vWPguoQjllVuIbWf7lnWaRPxvWkOB3qEszKpLdJ-BSYf7Vk2lm511aUj7J-fK2FejKNCZ1SFRS_qclFlrspJymEZRoIkFZuY6b41JQRfCW115A0sTRcg-fSbPDNHI9GlJQRhzfh/s1600/IMG_7844.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR9UA9_vWPguoQjllVuIbWf7lnWaRPxvWkOB3qEszKpLdJ-BSYf7Vk2lm511aUj7J-fK2FejKNCZ1SFRS_qclFlrspJymEZRoIkFZuY6b41JQRfCW115A0sTRcg-fSbPDNHI9GlJQRhzfh/s600/IMG_7844.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452704204085673986" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; ; " /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3E_u66XnU2Nr9z4_Xv_DGfJq9xmmjVPRWYvFmHB0JZcIBdwesEB2gg6XfB20VLegG4CW4dp1xyqCiSBxu0v7R97kFuJHH-cHAv3QTkT72HXLS3vCLSA1rjHyq43XEfU_rmnx6pcwwm20b/s1600/IMG_7835.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3E_u66XnU2Nr9z4_Xv_DGfJq9xmmjVPRWYvFmHB0JZcIBdwesEB2gg6XfB20VLegG4CW4dp1xyqCiSBxu0v7R97kFuJHH-cHAv3QTkT72HXLS3vCLSA1rjHyq43XEfU_rmnx6pcwwm20b/s600/IMG_7835.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452704192649892658" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; ; " /></a><div style="text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline; "><br /></span></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0GRqEP26vaqkS96P9DtNhnNBOKBmLUHYT1aHG2EeXRmXp5OhrUVCCrHTvlh4kettDxoDckad4W0RoCLbeSToMc6f-WoLxW06eHolK1Btu34nlXFjwsrB8dnQeqAZm3PJLd6DoNpDvYruV/s1600/IMG_7826.jpg" style="text-decoration: none; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0GRqEP26vaqkS96P9DtNhnNBOKBmLUHYT1aHG2EeXRmXp5OhrUVCCrHTvlh4kettDxoDckad4W0RoCLbeSToMc6f-WoLxW06eHolK1Btu34nlXFjwsrB8dnQeqAZm3PJLd6DoNpDvYruV/s600/IMG_7826.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452704168648289394" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; ; " /></a></div></div><div><br /></div>J Melvinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13038898959034577379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116410899891057164.post-54782609338780614602010-06-28T14:53:00.000-07:002010-12-06T16:18:01.481-08:00Can I take your picture...for the school paper?<div style="text-align: left;">I have accomplished one of my highest ambitions and taken a large leap in my skills as a photographer. One of my photos ran with a story in the BYU Daily Universe. I signed up to be a volunteer photographer for the paper at the end of April. They called a few weeks ago and asked me to come in to be oriented and to give me my first job. I have already shot for a few stories, but this is the first one that has ran with a photo. </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RsvpSHQLPh0/TCkaoc8d3RI/AAAAAAAACRU/bvXB2dlKJu0/s600/IMG_9924.JPG" /></div>J Melvinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13038898959034577379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116410899891057164.post-24623557113770437242010-06-28T13:33:00.000-07:002010-06-28T13:40:36.158-07:00The Suburbs<div style="text-align: left;">On August 3rd, Arcade Fire will release their third album entitled The Suburbs.

To accomplish this, we were required to create a piece as large as we could with only 10 dollars. I created this piece below with seven 2"x 1"x 8' pieces of wood at 75 cents each, metal bracket supports, wire, and 25 trash bags fused together with an iron. Specifically, it is a five sided, inverse pyramid with the tip (bottom) cut off and a diagonal slice off the base (top). The dimensions are approximately 7' X 10'. My planning involved a lot of geometry. I felt it was quite successful. </div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvZuHtRsXofOEdDhJsphrnNgPTT_duL58IgU5SHUPOhmUmsSOInL_8gEWm5KOqctSF7_8MotLqOfqFJqGWqkV_2xshm0L2gxrX-buO2X43-zFPHPoZSDywo1heGwNDlIzOAnmqbWVByuDM/s1600-h/006.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvZuHtRsXofOEdDhJsphrnNgPTT_duL58IgU5SHUPOhmUmsSOInL_8gEWm5KOqctSF7_8MotLqOfqFJqGWqkV_2xshm0L2gxrX-buO2X43-zFPHPoZSDywo1heGwNDlIzOAnmqbWVByuDM/s320/006.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384095968432645234" style="display: block;
