Flower Bouquet

Size: 12”x7”

Made all the flowers by cutting out each petal out of newspaper or aluminum foil. I made what the flowers are sitting in out of newspaper and watered down glue, it was originally going to be a toe until I cracked and pulled apart the form. I then used markers and paint to add accents of color. It is my idea of an unconventional flower bouquet.

Plaster Man

Size: 7”x12”

I chiseled my plaster man out of a block of plaster. Some parts of him broke during the process so I came up with an idea to purposefully crack him in other areas and pieces him back together with aluminum wire and hot glue. This piece is also a part of my concentration centralized around the idea of what makes a beautiful man.

Blood Bucket

Size: 13”x16”

The basket form is made out of newspaper and tape, then covered in plaster gauze. Was then painted with two types of red mixed with tar gel. The two figures are sculpted out of air dry clay and were left to dry on the base. The inspiration for this piece came from two artists of Anish Kapoor, who makes abstract installation pieces, and Rodin, who was a very realistic sculptor of humans.
