Some of this art I found on my own, through sources like Instagram, others, I was shown by friends or in class. Art like this included sculpture made from bone, recycled material, and even light. For this…

I was running late getting everything ready for the in class presentation. I wanted the room to be dark so that the lights would really pop, so I covered up the windows with cardboard. Finally, class came, and unfortunately the LEDs decided to be finicky. The yellow and red crystals flickered and went out for…
