Addiction
Fall 2022
Beads were utilized as the medium to create this 35-by-19-inch sculpture, which was created on
a single sheet of Plexiglass. A widow insert that symbolized something taboo was required of us.
I decided on addiction as my taboo, and the three main contributors to addiction were drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. The arches also serve as tombstones since the people who are addicted to these things worship them in such a way that their bodies have grown dependent on them and will soon meet their demise. This is why the arches represent the windows found in churches. I used neutral colors for the items themselves so that my viewers could distinguish them and associate them with whatever company or type they desired.
My Weekly Steps
Fall 2021
This project's focus was on representing a type of data. I decided to use the number of steps I took while walking around campus on a daily basis for a week to symbolize this. As a result, each color denotes a certain number, with green standing in for one step, yellow for ten, orange for one hundred, and red for one thousand. F or a total of 38,352 steps over the course of one week. The season was fall when we were given this project to complete, therefore I thought it would aid my data if I did this in a season that matched. I made origami shoes with various designs to represent each of my steps because I wanted to use shoes to symbolize my steps. Since we typically wear shoes when we are walking, it would be simpler to depict since we typically associate shoes with our feet and our travels.
Charcoal Still Life
Fall 2018
After practicing how to apply shadows and highlights, we were assigned to produce this work using charcoal and still life. I wished to summarize what
I had discovered about charcoal. This is my final piece, and I created it by combining all the methods I had just learned.
Three Cups
Summar 2019
We had to manually construct three cups out of slabs. Regarding all of our color and texture selections, we enjoyed complete creative freedom. We were only to work on sounding out our hand-building techniques and practicing them. Which is exactly what I did while relishing my creative freedom.
Acorns Falling
Summar 2019
We were required to create a single item in
class out of at least three wheel-thrown bowls.
I utilized a total of five bowls for my design.
I intended for the acorns and falling leaves to symbolize the autumnal season. This is why
I sculpted leaves and acorns to add as ornaments, giving the bowls a wood-like appearance. The artwork also has autumnal hues.
Two Vases
Summar 2019
We were required to make two vases utilizing the brand-new coil technique we had just learnt in class in order to learn another hand-building technique. We had to choose two shapes from a list, and then we had to sculpt our vases to fit those shapes. We were allowed to choose the colors because we were just expected to concentrate on the technique.
Cone Flower
Spring 2018
This artwork is a colored pencil drawing based on a photograph I took for personal use. I chose a photo because I wanted to practice sketching from a still life in a different way. Additionally, after working with charcoal for a while, I wanted to work in color. The requirement to capture the drawing in color was increased by the fact that the shot was also in color. For the first time,
I tried to emulate the photo as closely as possible by choosing an in-focus main subject with a blurred-out background.
Deforestation Cycle
Spring 2020
Our objective was to incorporate both embroidery and printmaking. Deforestation is a subject that I am passionate about, thus that is what I chose for my theme. I chose to print a drawing of a tree that had already been cut down onto my cloth after embroidering other trees that hadn't been felled. I aimed to establish a pattern of chopping, growing and then chopping once again. in order to accurately depict the ongoing cycle of deforestation.
