* Dinner and a Movie Final Installation

3D Project Dinner and a Movie: Use ordinary objects to depict a movie.

Sol/Sole/Soul
Inspired by The Martian

This piece rests on the fragility of life. The two bowls speak to the isolation one would feel if that was the world you (alone) lived in. There is nothing but sand and rock.

Nothing is smooth, wrinkles or barriers exist between you and survival. You are fighting for life, where every turn could succumb to the point of danger.

The principle of repetition is seen in the large wooden fan splayed open on the floor. The focal point of the piece...

* Gregor's Room Final Solution

The main character Gregor is a traveling salesman who's life revolves around working long, hard days to support his family. He feels trapped in the monotony of his life, constantly working. The fear of stepping out of line creates a panic within him. After Gregor changes into the bug, with a million little legs, he feels trapped within his room. A different sort of panic has set in. The bed was seen as an enormous piece that Gregor had to overcome in his new life. As he learned to control the different parts of his body, he lost more of himself and his old world. The rug was plush, soft enough to fall onto and not get hurt.
