3. The Process

 The preliminary research that I did was on contemporary Pop Art and abstract expressionist art. Artists such as Elizabeth Murray and Josef Albers really showed me how colors works together to convey movement and action and emotion. I wanted to use colors to convey a moment, and certain emotions that inspire us and make us think. Andy Warhol’s Pop Art also inspired parts of this piece. For example, in using images such as the coffee and coffee beans or calculator or water bottle, I am trying to represent something different than the object itself and the use of the object. They are a flash of color, a sound, an idea.
