sneak peak : polaroids from namibia

These are only a few from the collection.  I spent 4 hours scanning all of them for my archives. It's the smart thing to do.  The selects will be in the book and in the exhibit. And there is a good chance that the other polaroids will end up in my thesis sculptures!

namibia : SELFIES and drama

2/5/2015

After 5 weeks in Namibia for my current project, I am happy to be home.  I gathered more than enough material for a documentary, exhibit, and thesis.  The overall statement of my project came into focus while on my adventure.  My work is a statement on the influence of tourism and outsiders on Namibia's indigenous craft culture.  The adventure was grueling but, one thing remained easy… talking to the kids.  Kids are always happy to meet you and find out what you are all about.

Here is a selfie I took in a Himba village in NW Namibia.
