Concentration: Explanation

Theme: Sneaker Puns 

Concentration Statement

What is the central idea of your concentration?
         The central idea of my concentration is to do literal translations of sneaker puns. I wanted to play with new types of art, while doing a play on words.
How do the pieces in your concentration demonstrate the exploration of your idea?

         The pieces in my concentration demonstrate the unique ways sneakers replace items in everyday life. I liked the idea of making art that also had a sense of humor behind it. As I created more pieces, my concentration became more detailed and focused on the sneaker and how common sayings are actually related to America’s favorite shoe.
