All in the family.

My first big project for my print class was to make a piece of work that was 36 inches by 72 inches. i decided to make a piece that investigated the economic divide between my mother and father's families. I did so by printing actual photographs from either family and illustrating some photos myself on a piece of fabric 36 inches by 118 inches. what i came to find that my father's family, which was much wealthier than my mother's family, had far more photos and the quality of those photos was far superior. i inserted the space for picture frames for me to paint in. the divide is not very apparent at this stage but once i add in the picture frames it will be very apparent. the fallowing images are of the process and the "final" piece (this is still a work in process).
