This was the piece I landed on. Basically I used clay to make simple sort of women figures. Each individual figure is masking their body in some way. This might be their face, their thighs, their stomach etc. I hung a bunch of these magnifying lenses all around each woman which is supposed to be …
I chose to speak about the contemporary artist; Sylvie Fleury. Fleury is a Swiss female artist, she was born and currently resides in Geneva. The style Fleury tends to lean towards is taking basic concepts or objects and adding her own interpretation. A lot of the pieces she uses are actually high end fashion products …
My piece was inspired by Alison Saar’s sculptures. I took the aspects of her pieces in regards to hair specifically and applied to my sculpture. I wanted my headdress to sort of have the same chaotic quality that many of her sculptures had. Although I think I sort of got into too much of a …
I made a sort of cork cabin for my multiples project. I used a ton of corks and pieces of book cover from my last project to construct the home. I was actually very surprised at how difficult it was to cut and sculpt corks. I followed the advice of trying to create something square, …
My ready-made was supposed to symbolize the sort of fantasy world books create for humans. I did some carving into the actual pages which was a lot harder than I expected. It was fun sort of playing around with depth and shapes. I sort of wish I had picked a larger book to have more …
I liked this project a lot. I think I made the right decision to make a hand, taking into account my sculpting abilities. I am pleased with the way the structure turned out. I felt that when I added a lot of detail it actually looked a little more child-like and less professional so I …
For some reason I felt that this was harder to work with than the clay projects. I felt a lot of the time my sculptures looked messy or strewn together with little thought. I made a bunch actually, and I wasn’t happy with any of them, but eventually I used pieces from all the ones …
I enjoyed carving more than modeling. I liked played around with different depths and curves. I prefer the curved edges and shapes as apposed to hard edges and corners. Smoothing was slightly tricky with this piece because I tried to steer away from a base but each time I worked on a side the smooth …
I started off my sculptures with some inspiration from rock formations. I wanted my shapes to look like they were somewhat cohesive but still maintain their own unique form. I played around a lot with different shapes, sizes and thicknesses. Eventually I moved from slide 5 to six because I felt the smallest piece didn’t …
I started by hanging some masks from the ceiling but didn’t like the look of them there so I instead chose to hang them as a sort of decoration at the window. I used the masks because they are now a big part of my college experience. They represent the current pandemic that is affecting …
I woke up one morning, walked down the three flights of stairs in my dorm, opened the door and began photographing all the little things I could find. The first image I chose stood out to me because of the way the sun’s light shone from the leaves, and the vast expanse of this plant …
Headphones. I chose headphones because I have always loved music. Music in my family is very prevalent, there was never a quiet night in my house. As I have gotten older I have come to appreciate many different genres of music and I listen certain music depending on my situation. Whether I am stressed, excited, …
