My exhibition is finally up! Please visit it at contactexhibition.com!! This is the culmination of 8+ months of work, sweat and tears!

It's 1:30am, and this is the best artist statement I came up with.

I've never called myself an artist, only a designer. I switched from a degree in psychology to graphic design when I found myself playing with photoshop instead of writing essays, and have never looked back. I have discovered, in the process of growing and becoming a designer, that design is married to communication.

The practice of viewing and displaying art, at least in museums, has traditionally been within a calculated setting. Exhibition design comes into play by taking into consideration such elements as how art should be arranged, what order it should be viewed and how it interacts with the space surrounding it. These factors come together to create a carefully constructed exhibition within a carefully constructed setting.

As a graphic designer, I am intrigued by the process of taking not only art into consideration, but its environment and presentation as well. This process works off the topic of communication and how to best present information. As a designer, I am also interested in how the internet continues to permeate "real life." The dichotomy between physical and virtual communication is an unavoidable subject matter. This online exhibition, Contact, within an exhibition, Hello! My name is:, attempts to explore just that.

I'll come back to this after I wake up. I'm out.

Class is a waste of my time. I shall be skipping it and work this entire week to focus on more important things, like my THESIS PROJECT. Ironically, my thesis project is part of class.

I can't escape this can I? Let it come gently. But first a nap!
