This thing's starting to get spider webs...

A brief explanation for the following images:

The first 7 weeks of my BFA year have been concentrated on making small test sculptures that embody my processes and materials of making. These are the small sculptures located at the bottom (the hanging toy-like thing, the wood box filled with bows on the purple stand, the black board with the ball of hair). The large sculpture that is directly below this text is a final iteration of an architectural project for the advanced sculpture class I'm in. It sort of combines a lot of the things I've been working on for the past month and a half. It's made of concrete, wood, fabric, foam, ribbon and that mysterious teal object on the wall.

A House is Not a Home Without a Dress

My final project for spring term was an exploration into the collision and co-existence of the garmet and the domestic sphere. For about four weeks, I manipulated Goodwill clothing and found household objects while creating new forms from raw bolts of fabric and staples like wood and foam. The final iteration of my process was these four objects: each is meant to be part of the series, but each one also stands alone in evoking a specific place, moment or object.

New Stuff

It's been a while...Here are some photos of a sculpture I made recently. I think I'll be able to post some more photos later, but I'm headed to Regionals this afternoon to secure Fugue a spot at nationals!

What a month under a mango tree can get you:

It's finally here! A record of everything I've been doing for the past month (okay, there's a paper as well, but it really lacks the appeal that the sculptures have. If you want to read it, let me know and I'll scoff at you). My first two scuptures are like to one below--they are in the style of my teacher, Serigne Mor Gueye,and are approximately a foot tall.

The following two are large, maybe two feet tall, and very heavy. I am going to bring home one of them (haven't chosen yet) because two would earn me a $150 overweight bag fee.

This is my final sculpture. It's four or five feet tall, very twisty, and weights a TON. It is definitely my favorite but unfortunately must stay here. I believe it will live in the SIT courtyard for future students to see.

Mouton Slaughterfest

Yep, here it is. I watched a lot of mouton die on Wednesday. But, I also ate a ton of tasty meat.


Also, there are some photos of the sculptures I've been making, but they're far less interesting than the gory pictures of Tabaski...
