Since I would like to leave some of the imagination to the viewer, here are just a few conceptual developments from my hand in the 2009 Senior Thesis Exhibition. Victorian Steampunk subculture has always been something I've been more than excited about. The fact that our imaginative nature of a historical culture that our generation can relate to through what we've learned and read about and researched in history books can evolve in current times and take intricate elegance to an entirely new level simply amazes me. The incredibly and carefully crafted patterns, designs, and styles of clothing and decoration of the 19th century combine with technology crafted out of myth, powered by steam, gas, coal, and occasionally magic, to bring a very modern cultural entity to this otherwise less developed history. The excitement, imagination and whimsy of "Steampunkery" is fun and enjoyable for many people, and is also becoming more prominent as the days go by. Please enjoy!
PS: I don't claim to know Latin, so I apologize for offending the scholars with my post title. :D
