casting project
for this project i was thinking about the historical escalation of violence, and was also exploring themes of identity.
Display project
festival wundercabinet
week 12
Still trying to up my wire work. Decided to try to make something even smaller but still having the same detail. working on making them tighter. decided to try to make this one more clearly referencing a classic jewelry size and shape.
Week 11
Still trying to approach a higher level of "art" in my wire work. experimenting with smaller stones and new settings. Also Using smaller wire to get high detail without making something enormous. Using higher quality materials as well, Brazilian watermelon tourmaline, ethiopian opals, faceted gemstones and solid silver.
Week 10
For this piece i decided to to try approach my wire jewelry with an even more sculptural approach. I made the piece fully three dimensional and able to be hung from any way you choose, even the chain is made into a part of the piece.
Week 9
For this sculpture i was using scraps from art projects. I was thinking about how the artistic process produces unique things that can be interesting materials to work with. I used broken fingers from my was hand cast that broke and arranged them referencing a cluster of mushrooms
Week 8
This sculpture is kind of just a casual pop culture joke, in homage to bender from Futurama. Had the butt casts laying around and some metallic paint and it just kind of seemed like the thing to do. Not a whole lot to say here.
Week 7
This sculpture Is about balance and logic for me and the physical properties of materials. Because the paper is soft and extends past the metal cube the more it bends the more it wants to push the cube up and fall off the other side, acting like a spring. The top cube, being made out of aluminum is deceptively light and is tipped in a way that would normally cause it to fall.
Week 5 Sculpture
this sculpture I see as more of a ready made. I was considering how a readymade might still be considered so even if you made it if you change the intention. This was a piece of wire jewelry I made which i flipped around to expose the "guts" of the piece. I think by flipping it it becomes more about the process and i think its interesting that it gives away that there isn't really a trick to the construction. In some ways I think the backs are often more beautiful than the fronts.
Week 4 Sculpture
For this sculpture I was really just trying to respond to the things around me and figure out the connections later. I think sometimes our intuition has logic behind it before we realize it. For example both of the pieces of wood have a clear connection but the wire even has a visual connection to the grooves in the wood from insects. Im really attracted to how this arrangement references a phone.
week 3 sculpture/pedestal project
for this sculpture I used polymer clay encasing a steel box i had made in the past and wood scraps. I have been thinking a lot about the function of the human body and how it relates to mechanical function and vise versa. To me there seem to be clear connections that I'm interested in exploring. I was also thinking about how using found materials can inspire original and unexpected forms and content. formally I was very attracted to the contrast of the sexuality/sensuality of the skin and lips versus the industrial feel of a simple wooden crate paired with the mimicking of form.
For my second sculpture I wanted to make something casual and thinking more like a sketch. I thought about how i could use found objects and modified objects to create something that is both representational and actual. starting from the bottom it comes at you in veering degrees of actuality as if receding into a picture plane and becoming an image. I am very interested right now in the space of the picture plane, depth, flatness, illusion, and actual.
