senior: mother goose poem
Higgledy, piggledy, my black hen,
She lays eggs for gentlemen;
Sometimes nine, sometimes ten;
Higgledy, piggledy, my black hen.

senior: book cover assignment 4
senior: book cover assignment 3
for the third book cover assignment we had to make three covers for the book A Journey to the Centre of the Earth, by Jules Verne. one cover had to be illustrative, one photographic, and one typographic. the photograph i used is kind of hard to see, but it's by andy goldsworthy. a ring of leaves organized in a way that makes a circular red and yellow gradient. i thought it was appropriate because it gives a feeling of minerals and earthiness.

for our second assignment we had to choose a memoir and make three options. i chose a book called Twenty Years A-Growing by Maurice O'Sullivan. it's about growing up on a remote irish island where people are very cut off and still speak gaelic. they led hard, kind of tragic lives. men were constantly swept out to sea. for imagery i knew i wanted to show the ocean. they used very specific boats called curraghs. for two of them i feature the boat washed up to shore, implying the condition of their former users. in the other i show the men walking the boat to the water. i hope that they convey a quiet sadness, because that was the feeling i got from the book. the inevitability of death and loss kind of hush the sense of grief to a dull melancholy.
