Altered States

I'm trying to work with water in my artworks at this stage of artistic progression. 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.

Boats*Cars*Dollars*Girls*Helicopters*Jewellery*Skylines from Thomas Traum on Vimeo.

A typology of rap videos and an attempt to construct the most generic Rap and R&B video out of many. Musical genres are always heavily codified and rap seems to be one of the most extreme ones, each video has similar if not identical subjects, the same light, the same cars, the same girls, the same dance moves etc. Through their likeness they seem to be almost ‘classic’, just as classic theater or opera.

Perspective

Inspiration: BYU Art Education Show

I couple months ago was the BYU Art Education show. It was up for just under two weeks. Here is the flyer that I made for the show:

I had two pieces in the show. The first won an honorable mention. It is a photo triptych.

The second was my installation. 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.

Can I take your picture...for the school paper?

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.

The Suburbs
