Artist Statement

My name is Sera Knobler, and I am a junior at Hunter College studying Sociology and Media, with a concentration in Emerging Media. I enjoy simple and minimal design and although my experience with web and photography is limited, I am eager to learn. 

What interests me most is web design and typography, as well as video animation and finding ways to incorporate some of these skills into my works. Specifically, I want to create layouts for posters, and design functional illustrations for both print and web. 
Today, I am working to understand the relationship between design and the public, and I wish to explore the effects media has on a person’s decision making as well as desire to participate in the public sphere. 

To achieve this goal, I am currently designing my own website and creating a portfolio with all my works. I am working towards developing my design skills to conceptualize my personal brand and I am hoping to pursue a career in marketing and advertising, in the future, either working on projects alone or as part of a team. I look forward to expanding my knowledge and experience this year with multiple projects in different areas, to further enhance my abilities as an artist.

We got the chance to listen to Alison Kobayashi speak about her project  Say Something Bunny which has several interesting aspects to it. In this project she emphasized creating a space for audiences to participate in creating meaning in film, performance, or artwork. As for my creative process, I like to create pieces that allow people to interact with it or feel a certain way about it. For example, one of my posters I created was designed to create a feeling of anxiety or tension. It was made with only three different colors and it showed three boxes balanced precariously on the edge of a larger box. The way they were placed makes it look like they are going to fall but they don’t, and that creates this feeling of anxiety. These types of pieces are my favorite to make because they evoke emotion and I like being able to make people feel the emotion of a piece or art like, Alison was able to do with her project.
