Project IV: Armor

April 25, 2023Uncategorizedvrobinson20

This purpose of this project was to create armor that represented an issue. The goal was to make it clear what the issue was and I think I captured that well. The all black aesthetic of the armor compliments well with the theme, “Depression”.

Inside/Outside

This was an extremely engaging piece that I had great pleasure of creating. I garnered inspiration from the African sculptures at the High Museum. I ran into the difficulty of making this piece as abstract as possible while not steering too far from my original vision. I am happy to say that this was successful. At first glance you may not know what you are looking at, but this is supposed to be a man’s head with his tongue sticking out. Carving the tongue out of soap was interesting because I have never worked with clay before. It took me 3 tries to get it right. My favorite part was using the soap shavings to add more depth to the clay sculpture.

8 Ways of Looking at a Piece of Paper

This was made by cutting the paper in half and using that half to make the bracelet. The other half was shaped into a finger claw and a small strip was used to connect the two together.

This was one of my most favorite pieces from this exhibition. The simplicity of this piece and how I was able to have it hold cash was very fulfilling

This was one of my favorite pieces. I enjoyed configuring each tiny piece to replicate a clock. The wearability of this is what makes it fun. I also enjoyed putting a bit of my personality into it with the spikes on the side.

Easily my favorite piece. I created several small rings and 4 paper claws and contracted a piece inspired by Black Panther. His necklace if very iconic and replicating it was fun.

Wire to Line Creepy Crawly

Easily one of the hardest projects I had to complete. This was very first time using wire as a medium, and I have gained much respect for my fellow classmates for producing such beautiful pieces. I believe my vision was very creative but my execution could have used some work. I will definitely continue to use wire in the future and create pieces that I am proud of. This was supposed to be a pelican, grasshopper and butterfly hybrid.
