Kristina (Simon) Jungels Pedestal Project

For this pedestal project, I wanted to create a piece that was simple but dealt with multiple art principles. I drew inspiration from minimalist works and focused on repetition, color and dimensions.  The smallest base for this piece is 10x10 inches, all the way to the top box that is 22x22 inches. Each level goes up in dimensions by intervals of 4 inches. It is made out of wood and is coated with spray paint.

For my pedestal project i decide to make a spear struck into a bark of a tree. I used a broom for the spear, with some feathers and cheetah fabric. The spear has a flag attached to it with embroidery of four countries flags that are each designed as a crest with a cowry shell. The crest are a symbol that i have designed to represent the diaspora in those four countries( America, England, France and Italy) that i have been to.

For this piece i used the cast of a bottle that was sticking out the trash and spray painted it with white lightly to let the color and texture of the latex uncovered in some parts of it.

I found this wood frame on the free rack. I teared the mesh off and wrapped it half way on it. the black and natural color are opposite to each other, i decided to leave it as is without adding anymore color to it.

Again using found objects, this piece of wood has some half way drilled circles on it, using the the spray can i over sprayed into the circles making it leak and feel like a splash.
