combinations


My first combination is this picture of a parking meter and a chocolate coin. I picked them because of there content mostly. Its pretty basic idea of parking meters "eat" all of our change. The first big expense I noticed moving to the city was how expensive it is to park your car. You really take for granted how cheap it is to park when you live in the suburbs.

My second has to do with Idea how even though water is filtered and purified it first came from a stream with duck $hit. The big picture is a close up of my espresso machine. I work at a Starbucks so fancy coffee drinks rub off on me. The espresso machine has grimy coffee grinds on the handle if you look closely. It also taps into the thought of anxiety. The ducks are in a clumped crowd there is no privacy between the ducks. I'm sure ducks are used to living like that but if you put yourself where they are I imagine being very self conscious and angst. The cafina machine relates to anxiety because of hype feeling you get from a caffeine high. For me at least I get very angst and sometimes nervous.



The last one is a pumpkin carving my friend did late one night getting ready for a car show. She won 3rd place!!!! The "remix" was an art show at my hometown it was a flyer for it. They relate because of the color orange. They are both relevant to my lifestyle too. Art is a huge part of my life and I make art on my free time. Its odd calling it art because drawing and painting are hobbies and relaxers for me. "Art" sounds so professional for me. Hanging out with my friends is obviously a huge part of my lifestyle but more so about cars. My boyfriend and my friends are way into European cars so it rubs off on me.
