The three sculptures communicate a sense of whimsy 

While exploring the materials to build the sculptures, I wanted to focus on the texture and space because I felt that my theme was best expressed through those aspects. I decided to include wire and tape though out all the structure to tie them all together and have fluidity through out them. I felt the work was lacking dimension so tried to have something going on any way you look at the sculptures.

I want to keep exploring the idea of not having a plan or set object to make. I want to learn more experimental design and avantgarde sculptures. The piece allowed me to explore my imagination and creative side more than I normally would. The making of this work exposed me to new ideas such as non traditional pieces and new ways to look at art..

Fluxus Box

 

To Eat or Not To Eat 

Velvet, foam, clay, paint, plaster, wood, plexiglass, insect carcass

17”x14.5”x7.5” 

In this work, I aim to explore the uncomfortably of gluttony and the psyche of appetite through the dichotomy of disgust and confusion. I did this through positioning the bugs and food in an intermingled manner. The exterior and interior merge through my use of the plexiglass, and the adorned visuals excels because of the velvet. The motif across the artwork is shine across the materials, communicating both luxury and lust. 

My movie references were Corpce Bride, and Coraline. 

I started out making the frame for the box then glued it all together. I think formed the bottom foam and covered it in velvet fabric. After that i made all of my object and added them to the box. My biggest struggle was figuring out how to make the hinges because the bought door hinges but they would not fit, so i had to build it with fabric.

The eight sculptures communicate a sense of disgust 

While exploring the materials to build the sculptures, I wanted to focus on the colors and texture. I decided to include lots of paper pulp for the texture because I conveyed the feeling of disgust the best. I felt the work was lacking color so i added color to the paper pulp while it was wet to really have the color seep into it. 

I want to keep exploring the idea of only using one material. I want to learn more about colors and how to incorporate them into my work. The piece allowed me to explore color and texture a lot more than I am used to. The making of this work exposed me to new ideas such as worry and doubt.
