Transpareny (or wax?) Assignment

For this assignment, I covered images in painted wax and slowly chipped away from their surface... revealing what looks like a containing environment for the figures within.

Water Assignment

For this assignment, I experimented with different liquid densities and colors to create varying results in multiple containers.

Sandpaper assignment (drawing 3)

Sandpaper assignment... mostly experimenting with medium here.

Miscellaneous... drawing 3 Assignments

I sewed and painted a half dozen miniature donuts for the sewing assignment.

I made a container for eight, tiny, documented erased memories.

I think this was for the wood assignment

I strive to communicate narratives that offer various forms of interpretation. I'm passionate about telling stories and creating characters that evoke nostalgic elements derived from the surreal and imaginative moments of youth. I have an innate desire to accept a challenge and this fuels my motive for making work. I am always eager to accept a challenge, formulate a plan and overcome obstacles with the most surprising and creative methods possible. I consider myself a successful artist when I expose ideas or communicate theories not often thought about or long forgotten.

Sculpture Digital Journey Part 2

Project 4

Paper Mache

Finally... the dreaded paper mache sculpture. I struggled with this assignment a lot, both in concept and development. Am I the only one who didn't make anything out of paper mache as a kid? Regardless, here, goes...

Here's one of my finished arms. I figured the choice of paper was fitting with both my concept, mood, and progress in regards to the project.

Second arm, pre-conjoining to the forearm.

Framework for a hand, made of crumpled paper, cardboard, and tape.

Documentation of all three hands through various stages of work. I will admit, this was my first encounter with such a large scale sculptural piece. I don't see paper mache in my future. Ultimately, the work revolved around the humor I found in the situation, which was pretty time appropriate. Finally, I used spray fix to adhere the toilet paper to the cardboard frame work.
