Whale Shark (in Space)
2008 10.5 x 10.5 in. prints

Joe Bottoni's animal project (which can also be viewed over at Michael Bierut's portfolio.)

Part I of the assignment was to interpret an animal's physical and emotional characteristics and create a symbol based upon those interpretations.

Part II of the assignment was to interpret a phrase that a fellow classmate generated for us. The only requirement to the phrase was that it contain an action verb, so the phrase could be as out there or intricate as the classmate wanted.

I was given the phrase, The whale shark swam through the atmosphere to the moon, which I portrayed in a series of three studies.
