Old Is New- Courtney Huston

 

My concept for Old Is New touches on a love for instrumentation and music passed down through generations in my family. I wanted to represent that connection by implementing my late grandmother's violin alongside the piano since playing it is a hobby of mine. I wanted to show how that love for music carried forward to the present through me.

I interpreted the "what is old is new" in reference to someone in my personal life - my dad. He personally will make it his mission (in my opinion) to bring up something or another related to his service in the Air Force into any family conversation. My concept was him being "stuck in the past", or to allude to such. 

I used the frame, texture, and cracks from the LOC, and the photo of the airplane in the hangar from OpenVerse (marked public domain).

Sunday's Best: Redefined

This piece explores how the outward appearance of faith can change over time while the meaning behind it can remain the same.Traditionally , "Sunday's best" was associated with dressing formally for church, so I intentionally photographed myself in a modern hoodie while holding a Bible. The casual clothing creates a contrast between present-day church culture and the more formal traditions of the past.

I placed myself in front of a historic church image from the library of congress. The church acts as the connection to the past , while the clothing shows the present. The contrast encourages the viewer to question whether Sunday's best is about the clothing someone wears or the intention they bring with them.
