Balsa Wood Project


Principle of Art/Design: Pattern

For this sculpture a small sliver of wood was dipped into ink and stamped it onto the separate pieces of balsa to with dry brushed ink on top. The inside is covered with black ink to create a void within the sculpture that makes it appear as though it is floating in space.

Principle of Art/Design: Scale
This sculpture scrap pieces of balsa were used and were added onto to create this form of chaos. Each piece was added to create this dichotomy between large and smaller scaled pieces.

On Longing Sentence 1: "The body is the primary mode of perceiving scale." This photo was taken in Asheville, North Carolina, where I had experienced environmental scales that as I was not used to the as I'm from Florida. The city was painted with murals that worked with the local scale of the many hills along with perception and created an illusionary view.  Sentence 2:  "The souvenir exists as a sample of the now distanced experience, an experience which the object can only evoke and resonate." At home, I went to the Mountain Film Festival every November with my mother. Since I no longer reside much at home, this photo and the films I viewed serve as a reminder of how much I cherished the experience of attending.  Sentence 3:  "The souvenir reduces the public, the monumental, and the three-dimensional into the miniature that which can be enveloped in the body."  As I was standing on the side of the road while the rest of ...

Illustrating on Naturally Dyed Textile

Mansion Door This illustration is inspired by the song “Mansion Door” by Shakey Graves. The song has this sort of haunting comfort that is shown with the use of the indigo textile and the style of the house.

The use of graphite makes it more haunting as it is challenging to view on the deep indigo textile and the viewer is dated to take a closer look...

Fluxus Box

Ballad of Buster Scruggs Scrap wood, wood glue, nails, dirt, pyrite bits, rope, black, brown, and white acrylic paint, air dry clay, weathered coins, black string, and weathered rock The exterior of the box is made from scrap wood and a distress stain using a mix of several brown acrylic paints, black acrylic paint that was watered down to create a stain effect. The holes on the lid mimic the bullets shot through characters so unrealistically that light will shine through them. The box itself is meant to look like a coffin due to the fact that there is so much death within the anthologies but no coffin or burial scene is shown. It is as if there is no time to grieve in the wild west. Upon removing the lid the first layer is revealed. The five items represent five out of six stories shown within the film. The dice made from air dry clay has only 1's and 8's that references the poker hand that Buster Scruggs refuses to play that is Aces and Eights which...
