The alien head is a piece I just decided to create as a breadth piece. It is made out of an aluminum foil and tape base with a paper mache finishing. The head was then painted in acrylics with a mixture of coarse pumice gel medium and tar gel medium. The scales are made out of a thicker paper individually glued on and them airbrushed.
The tree is made out of air dry clay, and paper towel, and then was painted with a light watercolor wash. I then hot glued the branches and the aluminum wire. I then glued the tree to a cardboard base. Then I took my black hot glue sticks and dripped the glue all around the tree from the branches and wire. This piece I made because I wanted to make a tree and test out dripping hot glue. Overall I think it was a success and a great new technique.
I sculpted a hand using my hand as a reference out of an aluminum foil base and sculpy outer shell. I then backed the hand so the synthetic clay, sculpy, could harden. I then airbrushed the hand and stuck it into the fire place. I created this piece to start to understand the human body and experiment with the airbrush machine.
Sculpted out of two pieces of green sculpting foam glued together. The piece is intended to have an organic and nature inspired look. I formed the foam by sculpting it with my finger and an exacto blade.
I started off with a block of Bulsa wood that I then carved with rasps and knives to form a human and nature inspired piece. I then used wood varnish to paint the piece. I call it space ship because it reminds me of a space ship you would see from star wars or some alien movie.
I went through a little bit of an alien phase and wanted to create something out of the ordinary. So I cut a square piece of canvas, gessoed it so the canvas could harden, folded it into the shape of a fortune teller and then airbrushed an alien design on the front. I glued all the sides together so it can maintain its shape, so it is not a functioning fortune.
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.
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.
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.
