Don't leave a hand in nature....it turns into an ant hill.

NATURE AT ITS BEST.

I believe that this piece although my second is my absolute favorite. I pulled many of 24hr nights and worked my a** off on it. I'm proud. That's my self critique. 

MODULARRRRRRRR MADDDNEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

MODULARRRRRRRR MADDDNEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!  I just wanted to repeat the scream! It's that Epic! Epic I say Epic...Why you may ask? Because it has to be life-sized taking up more space than I. We were supposed to create and Abstract sculpture..you know "non-representational" with items that we find anywhere. Shessh glad it wasn't cardboard or I would have had to protest! Being the broke college student I am I decided to use something free and that I could find in bulk. And JACKPOT! I hit the goldmine by using the gumballs or coco bugs as I've also heard them being called that fall off the trees on campus.

My Utensils: Hot glue and a wild imagination.Here are my dreams coming true

                                 The baking process in order to sterilize my product...the bugs were attacking!

The process of making their foot-holds

It has to be sturdy! 

Ahhhh the Woven Baskets 

Connecting them was a breeze 

The Golden Arch

Getting quite complicated now

Look at that craftsmanship 

Cardboard C.R.A.B. The final Installment

                                    THE FINISHED PRODUCT
                  
Self Critique: Watch the glue, wrap carefully, and even in doubt thing creatively to make cardboard to the things you would like them to do or at least appear like it's doing so. 

What is that??? Idk it's "Supposed" to be non-representational. Ohhhhhh ok

Picture me Life-Sized!!!

(if you can't.....just wait because you WILL)

I'm going to find YOU!

Currently on a Safari to find the most intriguing and well hidden patterns I can find in my surroundings. Don't hide I'm an expert, and you can and WILL be Digitally Photographed and tagged for artistic purposes.

Feeling Crabby??

Our first project assignment was a WOWZER! The class was given an interesting selection of natural objects that we would then duplicate the best way we knew how using our brilliant artistic minds, cardboard, and glue. Who would have thought it! Laid upon the picking table were acorns, bananas, peanuts, magnolia stems, pinecones, sea shells, a crab, grasshopper, other insects and natural objects of the world. I was attracted to the crab..it looked easy enough! NOT! But I wanted a challenge to conquer, so here I am a 21st Century Conquistador. Take a peek at my developing progress.

One word: DOTS!!!! For the past couple of class periods I've been surrounded by them literally and figuratively. They've invaded my space, taken over my mind, forced me to praise them by building  numerous amount of structures in representation of them, and then..... I BECAME ONE with my fellow comrades. Here lay the evidence of my transformation.
