This was my sophomore year’s final project. The assignment was to create a piece based on magic realism (fantastical or unrealistic situations presented in a realistic way or as if they were possible in reality).
This piece was a school assignment based on magic realism. Our teacher asked us to imagine a situation that seems beyond reality and present it as it would look in real life. She challenged us to juxtapose subjects of different sizes in order to create something interesting. Apparently Ferris wheels and bicycles were floating in my mind at the time because click!- they somehow came together.
This was one of my earlier ideas and I knew I should have been discovering new ones, but I became inextricably set on making a bike wheel into a Ferris wheel. This was a challenge at first because obviously bike wheels are not meant to be Ferris wheels, but in the end, I think the whole concept was married nicely.
The rest of the carnival introduced itself later to make things more interesting, and, with some late nights spent with my pen and watercolor along with the stress of finals and excitement for break, “Magic Fair” was born.
