Installations


I explore how selecting a story of personal importance, paring it down to its simplest elements, and telling it through considered design choices make it possible to create an experience which is received individually, but understood universally. This simple storytelling conveys universal ideas that become motivators for change.

The structure is made up of colorful transparent squares. The text on the poster reads: A Lighting Thesis/Exhibition Presented by Kayleigha Zawacki. Light Conversations. Light as Art. Art as Change.

An event poster. The background is a texture created from overlapping newsprint inverted to make the text white and lightened so that you can read text on top of it. The words BETWEEN THE CRIMES overlay this background text. These are cut of out newsprint. Additional black text reads: An Exhibition of Artworks Illuminating Positive Boston Headlines and Celebrating Good News In Our Community By Local Mixed Media Artist Kayleigha Zawacki. Located inside Spectacle Eye across from the Boston Center for the Arts.
