Untitled
Untitled 2022 Thread on painted board
My work consists of three, large scale, thread pieces that depict light overcoming darkness. I use the layering of dark and light string on gesso board to create contrast, texture, depth, and liveliness within each piece. As communicated in my work, the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness is overcome.https://kb.gcsu.edu/abundance/1027/thumbnail.jp
Wired: Off Kilter
Wired: Off Kilter 2022 Mixed media works consisting of resin, acrylic, and three-dimensional objects
In Wired, a series of mixed media works consisting of resin, acrylic, and three-dimensional objects, I bring awareness to mental health by illustrating pills in patterns. Scattered pills are a common thread among the works to illustrate that medication is the primary route as opposed to nontraditional therapy, such as cognitive behavioral. With this, I briefly delve into chemical imbalances as a side effect. My work invites the viewer to think and experience second hand the life of the one in five adults who live with mental illness. I chose to work symbolically to keep the viewer’s attention on the important message rather than the intricacy of my work. My work is easy to digest but facilitates discussion as it lingers in the mind.https://kb.gcsu.edu/abundance/1017/thumbnail.jp
Custom Elements Shoe Collection: Detail 7
Custom Elements Shoe Collection: Detail 7 2022 Acrylic Leather paint and wood on leather shoes
Sneaker Culture has always been around but in the past couple years it has become increasingly popular. Though the idea of customizing sneakers has caused quite a stir in the community with certain brands not wanting people to put their own designs onto a silhouette they created. Customizing is all about adding your own flare to express yourself and controlling how people perceive you.
For as long as I can remember I have always been into two things: art and shoes. So, when I discovered that I could put my own art on my shoes I always wanted to try it. When I decided to do this project for my capstone, I wanted to represent what art is at its core. The Elements of Art are the foundation of any piece regardless of medium which is why they represent what art truly is and can be. Yaacov Agam said “There are two distinct languages. There is the verbal, which separates people... and there is the visual that is understood by everybody”. I believe that the Elements of Art are that visual language that allows everyone to understand art. For each shoe I painted a design that is inspired by the Elements of Art and gives each shoe its own personality.https://kb.gcsu.edu/abundance/1013/thumbnail.jp
Potential’s Perspective Detail 3
Potential’s Perspective Detail 3 Linocut & digital prints Dimensions variable 2022
By using printmaking as well as digital printing, I will compare people to keys and containers. In combining these themes, I have created three strong black and white images along with a colored pattern. The three images will be printed onto paper using linoleum blocks and print screens, then framed and mounted atop sheets of personally designed wallpaper. I plan to print on repositionable paper for the wallpaper on the central wall and below the windows. On the outer walls, I will digitally print my pattern onto thin and flowy paper which will cascade down onto the floor of MoFA.https://kb.gcsu.edu/abundance/1006/thumbnail.jp

The Impact of Processing Body Proteins on an Adenovirus Infection
Adenovirus is a nonenveloped, double-stranded DNA virus that contains a 36 Kbp genome. The E4 ORF3 region of its genome consists of an E4 11k protein that can reorganize host cell components by relocalizing cellular proteins. One such cellular component is the cytoplasmic processing body, which consists of proteins involved in translational repression of mRNA and mRNA degradation. During an adenovirus infection, processing body proteins Ddx6 and Pat1b have been shown to colocalize and form aggresomes. Aggresomes induced by E4 11k are specific to the adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad 5). In this study, cytoplasmic Pat1b foci were observed and quantified to determine E4 11k’s effect on Pat1b during an infection. Our data reveals that Ad 5 E4 11k is necessary and sufficient for increasing Pat1b foci in Ad 5-infected cells. To determine whether this increase in Pat1b foci is serotype-specific, we also studied the localization pattern of Pat1b in Ad 9 and Ad 12 E1-replacement viruses. There was a significant increase in Pat1b foci in Ad 5-infected cells compared to mock and the other two serotypes suggesting that rearrangement of Pat1b is serotype-specific. Additional studies were done to determine the effect of p-body rearrangement by E4 11k on late gene expression, but the results are currently inconclusive. Altogether, our data contributes to the understanding of how viruses can disrupt p-body proteins during an infection
What the World Needs Now: Love, Humor and the Shakespeare Connection
What the World Needs Now: Love, Humor and the Shakespeare Connection discusses how the modern romantic comedy (rom com) genre depicts gender roles in adaptations of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Taming of the Shrew. This paper looks at Shakespeare’s contributions to the themes of romantic comedy and how 21st Century filmmakers interpret his concepts. Because rom com typically lacks value among scholars, much of this genre’s impact on audiences is overlooked, yet its popularity makes it an undeniable presence deserving a closer examination. The 2020 pandemic brought into specific relief, not only the popularity of the rom com and its function as an archetype of entertainment, but also its benefits as a psychological balm and a model of social interaction. Addressing the questions, “How do modern filmmakers interpret Shakespeare’s models of love and humor?” and “What are the intrinsic benefits of the rom com genre?” this paper is a discussion of the essential value of the love/humor link to the success of human society. By focusing on the palliative nature of rom com’s formulaic ritual, this paper encourages a serious look at the benefits of the modern romantic comedy
