Pain

-
" We spend our lives trying to avoid it, and, from one point of view, what we call "happiness" may be just the absence of pain. Yet it is difficult to define pain, which may be dull, shooting, throbbing, imaginary, or referred. We have many pains that surge from within as cramps and aches. And we also talk about emotional distress as pain. Pains are often combined, the emotional with the physical, and the physical with the physical." - Diane Ackerman
Statement:
I wanted my piece to encompass the aspect of how deep pain is felt throughout the soul. How raw and unfiltered it feels. The grabbing of the heart symbolizes the physical aspects of pain by the hand clenching around the heart, and the outlined bleeding heart symbolizes the emotional level of pain. Emotionally as if your heart is aching and bleeding. As well as physically with the pain radiating throughout your whole being.

Memento

Memento Materials: Wood, fabric, and thread Dimensions: 5.5 x 2 in. For this project, we had to create a piece from a memory. I wanted to go with a precious memory that I hold close to my heart. When I was twelve I had a major surgery at Wolfsons Children's Hospital in Jacksonville. When I woke up, the first thing I saw was the window to my right shinning light down on the St.Johns river. This is such a vivid and important memory to me because it signifies the start of a new phase in my life. I chose wood as the firm foundation since this experience was solid and strong. I chose blue fabric to signify the water I saw when I woke up, and I chose gold thread to represent the sun shinning on the river.  Research:   http://www.circletrim.com/arched-curved-millwork.aspx   http://foundations3ddesign.blogspot.com/2016/05/sarah-sommer-student-work.html   https://www.artslant.com/ny/events/show/74580-recent-ceramic-sculpture?tab=EVENT ...

3D To 2D    REVELATION, 2018 Materials Used:  Adobe Illustrator, Identity image For this assignment, I wanted to revisit my Identity piece and expand further on the subject of depression. For this piece, I wanted to bring awareness to those who have/are struggling so I decided to make an awareness poster for the subject. I chose green as the background color since the color green is the awareness color. Also, I incorporated the date of when Mental Health awareness day starts. I vectored my identity piece to make a simple black figure with red chains to emphasize the struggle, and also red is an attention grabbing color.  Identity Piece:

Floating Architecture

Floating Architecture Materials used: Cardboard, ink, gestapo. Dimensions: 3ft x 4ft For this assignment, we had to choose two architecture styles to create a sculpture. I based my sculpture off of the Neo-Gothic and Classical styles. Choosing Neo-gothic, I wanted to choose a dark themed style since I wanted to play around with the eerie vibe. As well as the structured focal points. I chose classical because growing up I loved greek mythologies and classical structures are in Greece. I wanted to experiment with domes and columns.   Research:   https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/ancient-art-civilizations/greek-art/beginners-guide-greece/a/introduction-to-greek-architecture https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-neo-gothic-architecture-buildings/reference   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothic_Revival_architecture
