Michelle Henning, Student Work

I used the positive/negative space aspects of Memory House (Map Relief Project, see image below) to create a pattern. I then filled the spaces in between with a photograph of Cat Fur Pillow (Memento Project, see image below). The result is a "dust ball house" that resonates with me personally because I have grown up with two cats in the house who shed an extreme amount and fur/dust balls float around the floor of the house.
