I completed my Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Colorado Boulder fall of 2014 which concluded with a group exhibition at the CU Art Museum. My ten classmates and I named our exhibition, Blind Optimism. I presented landscape photographs I took, printed on alternative media: high quality silks. These silk prints were sewn into shirts and disguised on top of prints on paper in frames. I was compelled to find a new way to print a photograph, searching for new ways for a photograph to be valuable. This thesis exhibition was a result of a lot of trial and error finally resulted in wearable photographs.
