For this project i wanted to showcare the idea of Climate change and how its impacting the animals, their homes, and so on. I first need to come up with a social problem in the world that could have it own armor. My first thought was creating something could heal animals or fix their homes with some cool glasses that shoot hot or cold healer laser. For my first piece i wanted to make a head piece that represented nature in general because esentially everything is connected. So having that as the base/foundation was my plan. Therefore, i made a armor hat made out of a garden, this piece protects everything that tries to attack or detrail the animals and/or nature. Then for the body it is a light dress that can blind any of the enemies. With its blind diamonds melted throughout the dress it impossible for anything to go through it .
Inside Outside: I’m Trapped
For this project the goal was to create something out of soap and try to transform the shape of it. We also needed to incorporate clay to it and make it cohesive in a way that enhanced it without taking over. This piece was very fun and unpredictable. I wasn’t sure what i wanted to create so instead i let soap and tools guide me. I slowly started cutting pieces and eventually led me to this. I also was not sure on how to use the clay to help it stand out, but the end i was very pleased with how it turned out. I did know i wanted to do something interesting with the holes, and love how it came out. The clay seems to be trapping something or someone and it gives me a feeling of suffocation. It remind me of several character in movies, where the villain just wants to rip the soul out of someone.
Creepy Crawly: The Camofly
For the Creepy Crawly project the goal was to create your own insect that was a combination of three other real life bugs. We then needed to incorporate some characteristic from each insect and make it part of our own insect. The three insects that i decided to combine was the caterpillar, the firefly, and the butterfly. Even though i hate bugs and was my first time working with wire, i absolutely loved making this piece. I will say it was difficult to work but once i got the hang of it it turned out just how i wanted it to. So i made my insect by incorporating the body of the caterpillar, the wings come from the butterfly and the twirled tail is the light from the firefly. My idea was to make the body heavy so that way it could stand on its own. So the made the base the most sturdy and made three connected pieces. For the ears i wanted to get them from the firefly and butterfly, they have those antenna type. Lastly the wings, i didnt want to make them basic per usual so i added some detail that gave it like a vibration feel. The swirl tail his how i see the energy of their light. It going in a looped direction.
