Frame Park

Welcome to my video blog! My name is Jaclyn Bentley, an artist from Waukesha, WI. I have decided to do a visual study of a local park, called Frame Park. This park has always been special to me, because I used to hang out in that location before Frame was ever built. I was there to see it transformed into what it is today, a beautiful outdoors escape from enclosing streets around it. Waukesha used to be small, but we are growing fast. Whereas we used to see wide open spaces and trees galore, we now are faced with tall apartment buildings and miles of uniformly uninteresting condos. In the midst of this all, Frame park has become a family icon to those in Waukesha, an escape from encroaching business, and a boast of pride from its locals. The videos I have created are therefore extremely special to me, and I hope that you will enjoy them as well!
