* 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. The only food source is what is engineered from what you have under the dome. You feel the sense of urgency, where things are improvised on the fly. 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.

Intertwined - Grief and Hope

2D Project - create an image using 2 objects in various sizes to simulate foreground and background fading out of view. For this project I used two Willow Tree sculptures created by artist Susan Lordi to compose my project. As a military widow these two sculptures hold significant meaning. The foreground is composed of more Hero statues as it signifies more of the immediate grief after suffering loss. As you move toward the middle there is hope and grief mixed together. The background contains more hope then grief as you begin to find yourself again and move forward in your journey. Willow Tree Sculptures Hero and Soar Hero sculpture shadowed from various angles

The last picture of a happy moment at Disney between my son and husband. 4. Angel wings Christmas Ornament - a special ornament I have displayed on a shelving unit. 5. An art project I did in 2D Design, the angels signify the sadness of the past and the hope of the future.

Sculpture Assignment 3 and 4

The nature of these assignments was to create a replica of item in clay and then duplicate it by making a mold. Inspiration: My inspiration came from a series I’m doing for illustration about flowers and trees that have held special meaning from my life. The realization that these flowers would not be on earth without the pollination process of bees drove this project. Process: My initial replication was more precise in form. It was created based upon my initial sketches. I created it out of polymer clay and another with air dry clay. Each bee had a head, thorax, and abdomen. I was able to fit a set of legs but they were unsuccessful when I tried to use the mold for replication. Therefore, my bees in the final depiction have the three body parts and wings. I used two separate methods to build the mold. The first was where you measure equal portions of blue and pink liquids then combine to create the silicone used for the mold. I placed my clay bee into the bottom...
