Sculpture Show

From February 4 -15th, my school a sculpture show of student work.  One of my ceramic pieces, Canyon, were selected to be on display.  This is a raku piece that was inspired by the Grand Canyon.

Update

Recently, I have come to a conclusion.  I'm interested in exploring the comparability between sleep and death.  Sleep is an imperfect fulfillment of death, nature's prophecy of the future death.  I think I will continue in this direction, and it will be my focus for my senior thesis.

 My first project in ceramics class; a snail, with lots of foliage and other plant-like forms that grew out/on the snail's shell.  I wanted to completely cover the shell, but ran out of time.

Our 2nd project was about expanding out idea from the 1st project.  Since I want to further investigate the relation ships between sleep and death I'm making a sleeping deer, and on it's antlers there will be all the plants growing off of them.  

For now, this as far as I've gotten, I will make another post, once I'm finished.

In my glass class, we are making 3D objects, and I decided to make a sleeping bunny.  Which kinda could almost look like a dead bunny.....

When we were making the mold, and we splattered some plaster over it, it looked really beautiful to me. It feels very quiet and almost surreal.

Death & Sleep

Studi Photo Final

For my photo final, I choose to take panoramic pictures of people's bedrooms (basically).  I printed each one out on 11x14 enhanced matte paper.  I think I would like to see them on even large sized papers!
I would love to finish this project by taking many, many, many more pictures of people in their bedrooms.   I may want to think about this project for my senior seminar project...but I could broaden the idea more, or think differently about bedrooms...well I'll start thinking and writing down every idea.

Final Evaluation

Just finished my 1st semester as a junior!  My evaluation was with Ethan Berry, Matt Murphy, Diane Ayott, and Thorpe Fiedt.  It went really well, and I recorded it with my computer, so here are some stills (not that it really means anything)

TA-DA!

Now I just need to start thinking about Senior Seminar!!

Here is a glimpse at my final for studio photo class....I'm taking photos of people and their bedrooms....I started with myself first.

I actually enjoyed my photos I took in studio photo class.
