Grief Cycles

Photography 1 Project: Grief


Living inside a world of grief. Loss leaves you stunned, having your whole world ripped out from under you. Everything you knew and believed in is gone forever. It sets you on a path, denial, anger, emptiness. Then you come to a time that you live cautiously and ultimately detour off the path. It is a perpetual cycle, it never leaves you, even if you bury it deep within.

Grief


Denial
Anger

Weighted Emptiness

Sculpture Assignment 1

For this project the criteria was to use an eight foot 2x2 piece of wood to create a formalist sculpture.  When creating this piece I wanted to a work of art that had a topsy turvy aesthetic. The bottom 2x2 is resting on a hard edge, while the other pieces connect off each side.  I cut and sanded out divots into the corner edges all along the interior angles of the wood. Each piece was sanded down to remove blemishes and to create a relatively smooth surface. To fasten the pieces together I used a countersink drill to make the initial holes and then drilled in two screws for each piece, creating stability. Once completely together, the divots were painted white and the remainder was painted black with acrylic paint. After drying, I made a design decision to scratch off the black layer to reveal the white underneath. Reminiscent of old country style, which goes against the more modern look of the overall piece.  If you look closely, one of the side pieces is attached diffe...

Mental Health Introspect

Photography 1 class project: Capture 5 images on a topic that concerns you.  The challenge of this project was to capture images in a none traditional introspective way. Mental health issues are the bumps in the road, the feeling drained and deflated. It means reaching out to a friend, a therapist, doctors, anyone that will listen and help. It takes being resilient in wanting to persist through the darkest of dark, to fight until you see the light, and come out on the other side of it. It can be a battle that is fought over and over. Just keep reaching out till you find the right person that can help. Sinkhole Drained Call for Help Deflated Resilient

Sculpture Assignment 2

  Planned diagram Final Composition Final sculpture Side view of final sculpture Needed the wire to be closer, attached corner bracket and hot glued so the it would stay in place. Attaching the wire to hang Foam board layout Plaster covering Initial Paint  Laying flat on floor - photo studio For this project the assignment was to use insulation foam board to create the base of a sculpture. I cut the foam board into various squares and rectangular shapes and layered the pieces to create a design. In order to get the pieces to stay together I used cut up skewers and glue to attach. Once the base was completed then joint compound was applied. I brushed on two layers of the plaster. The plaster used was from last year and the consistency was a bit more watered down the new compound that was delivered after I was complete. Since I used a brush to apply the compound, it left brush strokes which I used in my final design element. It took 24 hours for each of the coats of plaster to d...
