It has been two years since the Deepwater Horizon Explosion followed by the 4.1 million barrels of crude oil that poured into the Gulf of Mexico. BluePrint is a series of cyanotypes dealing with news coverage of the BP oil disaster of 2010. The reappearance of this work into the public eye serves the initial intention, commenting on the bombardment of news at the time, and the utter lack of news as the oil continues to linger in our oceans and the effects on the environment remain undetermined.

Then you, my dear friend, are a damn fool

"Then you, my dear friend, are a damn fool"
and other illuminated manuscripts by Melissa MacAlpin

Throughout history, illuminated manuscripts were a way of reassessing important stories, commemorating words in vibrant colors and gilded gold pages. The end results were unique and beautiful, and made the people reading these stories feel more connected to them. In contemporary popular culture, our stories are culled from movies, television, and the Internet. We supplement our selves by quoting and taking comfort from this new scripture.
By representing ourselves with words from specific eras, we are also commemorating the time and places that we are from. My work collects some of my own most interesting and important words picked up in mass media through my lifetime. In these pieces, words spoken by people such as Rowdy Roddy Piper, Donna Reed, Owen Wilson, Nora Ephron, and Charles Nelson Reilly are commemorated in sparkling glitter and LED lights.
