snack lounge
This piece was commissioned by the West Virginia University's Creative Art Center for their second floor snack lounge. The Iconography and pattern for this piece was created in Adobe Illustrator. The final design was painted on three 24”x36” canvases with acrylic paint. This piece was later highlighted at WVU's 2023 Spring Undergraduate Research Symposium.
The purpose of my piece was to explore social functions of a space and how a viewer interacts with the visual stimulus in a room. This design employed in this work leans into the purpose of this room by creating three pieces comprised of snacks typically found in a vending machine. This design takes these snack elements and creates a tasteful pattern that is repeated throughout all three works. The repetition seen in the works creates a sense of unity amongst the three works while the colors create differentiation that make the works stand on their own and become three distinctive works culminating into this wall display. These designs use many colors that create a retro 1970s vibe which correspond with the vending machines in the sense that during this time period these machines were extremely popular. The purpose of these pieces is to create a fun space where people can sit and enjoy a snack.
