Hijab

My piece is about changing the location with covering it with Hijabs. Hijab is the head covering that Muslim females wear. Muslim females have to cover and I wanted to take an object and cover it.

Installation Weekend: Personal Public Space

This weekend's exercise began as an homage to an unknown artist. I say this because I am certain I have seen work similar to this in the past, either in dreams, or in person. Arriving at site, my favorite parking space, I began making forms from plates. The plates were symbolic to me of home, and they also served to mark "my" parking place. These forms were those that I found to be the most engaging of those which emerged during this process.

After creating these I began to think about other works which had been created throughout this class. My mind wandered back to Amanda's initial installation and Joe Haldeman's book The Things They Carried. These influences inspired me to examine the things I carry, and how my own baggage shows who I am.
