An Artist's Translation of Community is the documentation of my artistic journey in pursuing a Master in Fine Art in the Creative Technologies Program of Virginia Tech. Through this journey, I discovered the frameworks in which I develop my art practice, define community, and develop bodies of work that connect and support that community. By providing examples and definitions of the term, "community", I reflect on the stages and events of my actions and work with these examples and definitions. The documentation of this development showcases my understanding of what knowledge means and how to act with knowledge; What I truly believe in as an artist and what my passions motivate me to create work. I present my understanding of my cycle of learning and cultivating relationships. The reflection is meant to encompass communal activity as an artistic form of expression. The presentation of the cycle of developing relationships and the development of learning is displayed as the product of this expression. / The research on the development of the idea of "community." "Community" is reinforced through a body of creative expressions using the frameworks of concepts like Space, Culture, Representation, Craftsmanship, Advocacy, and Service. These phrases are intended to draw attention to significant moments in the creative process to illustrate a practice of community art.
