They hide who the person really is. I believe he's just targeting how people are so quick to judge what's on the surface.]]> 2017-02-28 13:10:15 UTC https://padlet.com/domenic_frunzi/j019ur2cuz/wish/156694288 https://padlet.com/domenic_frunzi/j019ur2cuz/wish/156694296 the sculpture shows all the people that make up the military and how you don't notice how important they are but they are the ground holding you up

"In our portraits I view my grandmother, mother, and me as one entity of time existing in the history of Braddock. We are like markers on a historic time line existing through three different socioeconomic periods"

She uses photography against the media and government for crime against her town. 

"Photographs have the potential to change minds and hearts. Artists, activists, and citizens together can advocate for justice but what we truly need laws that work for people over corporations."]]> 2017-02-28 13:10:49 UTC https://padlet.com/domenic_frunzi/j019ur2cuz/wish/156694427 https://padlet.com/domenic_frunzi/j019ur2cuz/wish/156694855 she creates graphic designs that touch up on personal and social issues that have happened to her and other people.

This work represents Treyvon Martin, an unarmed 13 year old that was shot and killed by police. This work is representing Treyvon and the day he was killed. He is wearing a hoodie, his shoe is sticking out of the bottom of the sculpture. The beads are in the color of skittles, what he was buying at the time of the shooting. It servers as a memorial to him. ]]> 2017-02-28 13:12:42 UTC https://padlet.com/domenic_frunzi/j019ur2cuz/wish/156694977 https://padlet.com/domenic_frunzi/j019ur2cuz/wish/156695045

"When it comes to looking at images of the sort of violence that’s happening in Iraq now—the soldiers over people lying on the ground with the guns to their heads—it’s not the first time that’s ever happened in the history of the world. But I live in this time and I look at those pictures and it has an effect on me."

This is his second series of instruments, which can be programmed through computers and are capable of playing prepared musical performances. The weapons keep their most recent look, but no longer pose as a threat. 

He notes that its not just repurposing the weapons, its recognizing the lives they may have taken. "the music expelled the demons they held, as well as being a requiem for the lives lost.”]]> 2017-02-28 13:14:16 UTC https://padlet.com/domenic_frunzi/j019ur2cuz/wish/156695391 https://padlet.com/domenic_frunzi/j019ur2cuz/wish/156696076 She is conceptual artist and collagist using black and photography with overlaid text.
