"Art can present us with a different view, a new perspective, another way of thinking about things. In this series of paintings of Pit Bulls I’m challenging the current-day perception of these dogs. Not by changing their image, but by depicting them close-up, larger than life, and inviting the viewer to question how they see and perceive Pit Bulls."

The light shines more when it is hidden. Seeing it from the shadows, the beauty of light can be seen more intensely. Standing under it, we do not think about its meaning, but when we are not under it, when we see it from afar, we realize just how much we desire it.

Self-Love
Question your perception. When you look at yourself in the mirror and cast judgement on yourself, ask yourself, "Is that really what's there or is that what I think I see?" When you're overly critical of yourself, ask yourself, "Is it really that bad or am I looking at it that way?" Self-love is all about looking for the positive and focusing on what's great about you.
Beth has a beautiful perception.

1. Materials used are my sister, her sketchbook, glass, trees, and buildings
2. I photographed my sister practicing her art wherever she goes throughout the day
3. I knelt on the ground and took a photo sideways of my sister and the sunlight to show the contrast of the hard light. I later made the photo black and white, added a vignette, and increased the contrast
When I was working on the original version of this I discovered the world of digital mirroring. I was playing with a photo of windows in an airport and somehow ended up mirroring the photo, and that's where the fun began. I just recently mirrored one of my old drawings and I thought it would be fun to go back to this one (that inspired my latest addiction: digital mirroring) and mirror it again. I'm not sure which one I like better, but this is definitely a nice twist.

"Building off Jane Jacob's maxim that more eyes on a street make the street feel safer, the San Francisco Arts Commission has commissioned numerous artists to display their projects in abandoned storefronts as part of the Art in Storefronts program, and as the photo above illustrates, some of those eyes are literally watching you.
Rather than feeling any Orwellian tremors, I found the eyes mural, called The Color Therapy of Perception by Chor Boogie, and the other projects, such as Bayly and Miller's Find Your self in Natural History, a warm and welcoming visual addition to an otherwise bleak stretch of plywood-covered store fronts along Market Street between 5th and 6th Streets. And I wasn't alone. People stopped, took pictures, and shot video of the artists as they put the finishing touches on their work, in preparation for the official public launch ceremony this afternoon." oct 2009

Documenting the ins and outs of a movement's struggle is crucial and often neglected. There is a public perception that social movements are filled with annoying, entitled, wild, and pissed-off young people who have no focus or direction. In reality, those who strive for social change are normal human beings. Telling their stories helps humanize their movement and inspire others to act. Isabella and Scovia will do this with photos, videos, podcasts, social media, and radio programs. This will serve activists, organizers, the public, and the international community that wants to stand in solidarity with Ugandans.
What they will do with the money:
$800 will be spent on equipment such as cameras, computer equipment, and hard drives. (Solidarity Uganda will donate a Blue Yeti microphone and - if they can get them back from police - cameras used for the film Our Feet Are Rooted.) $300 is for transportation to meet with various stakeholders throughout the country, including everyday people like school children, peasant farmers, fishermen, businesspeople, etc. who yearn for a systemic change (not only activists). $200 will be used for vegan meals while the work is taking place. $80 will be spent on stationary like notebooks, printed materials, etc. that will be useful while document the stories of New Uganda and the individuals that comprise it. $120 will be spent on internet and airtime needed to communicate.
Why are they qualified to receive a grant, and why does their project qualify for TPP funding?
This project serves the movement called New Uganda to popularize its image and the public of Uganda and international community who will be inspired by it. It helps in the recruitment process as it reveals that New Uganda is not an ordinary political party, NGO, or business. Rather, it is a movement - an idea - that is contagious, decentralized, and accessible to all yearning for change. It will help the world understand the complexities of Uganda. Isabella just completed her degree in mass communications and has enhanced her network while volunteering with The Democratic Alliance. Scovia has similar skills and great administrative capabilities. Projects like Humans of New York, This American Life, and other "human interest" kinds of multimedia projects and programs have proven that a new way of storytelling can cause social change. These experimental forms of building public narrative have been much less tried in the two-thirds world. Uganda is a place of diversity, and its people groups come from ancestors who used oral tradition, dance, drama, etc (the media of their time) to communicate truth to their children and community members. New Uganda wants to build on this tradition by synthesizing it with the most popular media forms in Uganda today: radio and social media.
PERCEPTION - the name of our exhibition. We had to design each of us a publicity image that will go in postcards, leaflets and posters. So this is something i made in Illustrator.
