Studio

1)-3) This is a torso I worked on for a couple weeks but my professor, Batu, wants me to start over.  I took a few pictures before I destroyed it.

4)-5) Dome-like-structures I made out of cut up record covers.  I'll be making many more of these before I decide what I would like to do with them.

6) Running buckets!  This is just a maquette (small sculpture study) of an idea that is going to become much bigger/much more interesting.

Contemporary Issues

1) Obstruction assignment:  This is my re-make of Maxine's sculpture. 

2) Original comic strip.

Drawing Concepts

1) We had to choose a painting with 2+ figures from a list of painters that our teacher gave us.  I picked The Crucifixion of St. Peter by Caravaggio.  We then had to abstract it with white and black collage.  I loved this assignment but I still want to work on mine a bit more.

2)-4) Some different details of my abstraction

5) Painting done from a collage I did.  My teacher stole mine or else I would have photographed it and posted it.

6)-8) Out of class assignment : night studies

9)-18)  In class works.  Some of these were done by collage and some are just straight up acrylic paint.

MORE TEETH!?

Molar parade!  Ok, lemme break it down.  So we had two class periods (6 hours) to make a clay positive of anything we wanted.  Naturally, I made another molar since I have a weird obsession with teeth as of late.  We made a plaster waste mold from this clay positive, and then made a rubber mold from the plaster positive.  Basically, this means I can pop these babies out like crazy.  Just pour some hydrocal into the mold and you have an identical cast about 30 minutes later.  These will be used in an installation piece that I am not going to try to explain on the interwebz.

phase 4: toof

This baby is finished for the most part.  I need to do a little touching up/more sand-screening but the bulk of the work is over.  It probably weighs more than I do so this thing might never make it out of Boston.  Maybe I'll throw it in the Charles River...what could it all mean??
