What's Right in Front of You.
3D Mixed Media Metal, Yarn, Feathers & Stones 2018 Class of 2020 Meaning: People know that there are two opposite things in this world that we discover when we are kids, and that'd good and evil. When we grow up we start to get a better understanding of the differences and we soon realize it's not just those two simple things that define everything. That it's death, fear, sadness, beauty, confinement, comfort, things that we go through in life that effect us, as a person, in some way. The things that we go through in life most people have a negative input on it and sometime we don't realize the beauty that's right in front of us. We overlook the good things that are going on and just focus on the bad for some reason. Even thought its dark in color it doesn't mean it isn't beautiful. Through out all the obstacles in life we fail to see whats right in front of us and sometimes it what we are looking for. As human beings we see beauty in different ways. In my opinion there are two different types, there's physical, inner/meaningful, depends if its a person or a thing. For this piece its meaningful and physical but some might say other wise. It's how you interpreter it that matters. Dream catchers represent life and they usually have happy things on them, so I wanted to do the opposite. |
Multiple possibilities
3D Mixed Media Cardboard, Wood, Fabric & Ink 2018 Class of 2020 Meaning: For some people their room is like their own personal sanctuary. A room represents a persons personality, their way of living. They can decorate it the way they want depending on the circumstances, it's their decision which makes it their creation. In the way I view it, is that an empty room is just a blank canvas waiting to be painted. Starting off with the basics and continuing from there. With the bay window it just projects outward from the outside wall which can interpret that there can be endless amount of ideas that can be projected into this room. With the branches coming off the letters it just shows that there is no extent to the type of person you are. No matter how much you grow your room can grow with you, personality wise. The possibilities are endless, it just depends on you. |
The Devastation
3D Mixed Media Wire & Steamers 2018 Class of 2020 Meaning: This installation project was mostly about bringing out the destruction in humanity. I wanted to take something pure (gold) and put it in an environment that's highly populated. It was a social experiment on how people don't care about the the good things around them as long as they get what they want. Humanity doesn't care how much destruction they cause as long as their goal is complete. During the day people pushed it aside or moved it so it would get out of the way. They represent the people that want to do good in the world and the others represent the people that do what they need to get what they want. |
