Abstract
In this interdisciplinary project, I explore color theory through literary research, and conduct experiential research on color through screen printing. I completed a screen print body of work relating to anxiety, somatics, and color in visually communicating experiences of the body. Each of the three prints metaphorize a specific feeling of anxiety that I have personally noticed, and uses whimsical form and bright color to show the intensity of these feelings. I used a combination of drawn stencils, photo stencils, and scanned magazine letters to create her layered images. In order to display my work, I co-curated an art show in the WWU B-Gallery themed around the idea of Guts that featured work of thirteen WWU artists and alumni.
