Hello,

My name is Connor Reardon, I am a senior studying Management Engineering with a concentration in Civil. I am from Salem, Massachusetts. I enjoy all types of music, as well as video as forms of art. I have also enjoyed photo editing as an art form. One of the last pieces of art that I did was designing a friends tattoo he got for his daughter.

 

 

One of my favorite places is New York City. I have always enjoyed travelling there, and have gone much more often in the recent years since my brother began his job there. Therefore, I wanted to create an icon to represent NYC, so I attempted to recreate the empire state building.

For my subtractive piece I decided to use a famous photo from one of my favorite movies, “Pulp Fiction.” I decided to remove the cigarette from the actress, due to the negative effects of that smoking cigarettes can have on your body. These effects weren’t truly known or publicized at the time of the movie. By removing the cigarette, young people who see this image won’t be influenced into smoking.
