Phase II Proposal update

Originally for Phase II, I was planning on working with Individuals at Risk. I am still interested in this topic, but as I began working and researching on student activists (Majid Tavakkoli and Jabbar Savalan) I was somewhat distracted by ideas for projects working with the campaign to abolish the death penalty.

In my Phase I critique, I did not talk too much about the concepts of each piece. I wanted the critique to be focused more on the  materials exploration of ink. I wanted feedback on the use of ink, instead of focusing on the concept behind each piece. Most of my Phase I work did go along with the Campaign to Abolish the Death Penalty, more specifically focusing on Troy Davis' case. I worked with Troy's portrait, the candle from the vigil on September 21, the idea of candle wax dripping throughout the night, and quotes involving Troy's case. I want to continue working with these topics, because I'm very passionate about this campaign. Troy's story shed light on this campaign and the many other Troy Davises.

For Phase II, I want to continue working with ink, and combining ink with other media. I will use AI case information and the teach-in documents in my research. I will refer to photos that I took from the Vigils on September 19 and 21, as well as other resources.
