This piece takes a slightly different turn on my typical content as it deals with not only people but how they're affected by music. Different people appreciate and listen to music for different reasons, taking us in many different directions even if a song was meant for one specific purpose.

This piece is based on how people in society often mold to each other, and sometimes all seem the same. With the reflective resin layer the viewer will be able to see themselves among the three faces, further adding to the content and how we compare ourselves to other people around us.

Earlier this year I made a page in my sketchbook of multicolored stamped face silhouettes with drawn faces on top. The stamp was made of an eraser that I cut with a knife. I wanted to use this project as an opportunity to made a real stamp out of linoleum of both the face silhouette and the line drawing. I really love this process, and it's probably one of my favorite pieces I have ever made. I hope to make a piece like this on a much larger scale one day.

I have always tried sewing in past create pages, but I really wanted to try to create a clothing piece with my faces stitched into it. However, this did not turn out how I had hoped. Originally I was planning on sewing my design into the clothes. If I was able to do that I think it would have ended up a lot cleaner, more detailed, and visually satisfying. However, I was forced to hand-stitch it. While I like the concept I'm not satisfied with what I made and I hope to make a clothing piece that I am proud of in the future.
