 Adam Milner

 Two words or phrases that describe Milner’s work is "arrangement" and "attachment".

Proportion / Scale: The work contains many different objects such as underwear, hair, fake lashes, and plastic pieces of human body parts that are arranged around one another. All of these pieces arranged together shows the proportion/scale of the objects he used in this piece.

Balance: In this work the artist arranged taxidermy birds in different sized display cases below vases filled with different flowers on top of the display cases. This piece shows asymmetrical balance because although there the objects are not all the same size or material, the arrangement of the boxes and flowers is asymmetrically balanced and therefore is unified to the viewer.

The sadness I felt from the ending of the story was translated into the use of blues for the blanket, lamp shade, and pin stripes on the pillow. It seemed that Gregor was the bread winner of the family before his metamorphosis, making me think that he lived a depressing and tired life supporting his family. To show this depressing nature, I made the blanket have stains. I also made the wood on the bed frame, lamp, and coat rack look very worn and destressed to represent his feelings about his life before and after his metamorphosis. I chose white for the accent color because it not only felt realistic, but because it also contrasted against the blue and kept the color pallet muted, further pushing the depressing theme I was trying to capture. Gregor is represented as a roach, hiding under the bed. This reflects a part of the story where h...
