Reflection Statement


My experimental sculpture collection entitles ‘Edges’ was inspired by several unique sculpture techniques and materials. My intent was to communicate the versatility of each material and how they can be disguised and used as interesting elements in a piece. I focused on making each sculpture unique and using different styles and materials for each one on order to show the versatility. I decided to add ink to the wood glue to add color and create a visually interesting element. I felt that the work was lacking in some structure but overall they each held their own. I want to keep exploring and learning the different materials and techniques used in abstract sculpture. This taught me to let go of representation and exposed me to new ideas that I hope to include in my future work.

Visual Symbol Sculptures

 Woman  Clay, gold paint 4"x 2" Mind Palace Clay, gold paint  3.5" x 3" Reflection Statement The clay sculpture, entitled ‘Woman” was inspired by classic sculptures and the experience of being a woman. My intent was to visually communicate the power that woman hold and the sort of realization that we are more than what people perceive. I wanted to focus on the nude form because I didn’t want it to be constricted. This woman is free and I wanted that to be recognized. I decided to use the gold paint as to not take away from the sculpture itself with too much color and I thought that it was fitting because my symbols were crowns. I felt the work was lacking an element of disruption so I decided to break one of the crowns to show that despite loss, and setbacks women still contain so much worth.This piece helped me to explore the themes of the feminine experience and I hope to continue exploring and using these ideas throughout my future work.   Research  https://www.l

Waves Wood, Sea glass 1.5" x 2"   In progress  This sculpture reflects on my relationship with my mother. I have always associated sea glass with her because as a kid I would always give her any sea glass I found because I knew she loved it. After she passed away my dad gave me her sea glass collection and I keep it next to my bed just like she did. I chose the wood to hold the sea glass because I wanted it to be light and smooth. I rounded it out to add to this effect. I chose 3 pieces of sea glass from her collection and embedded them into the wood. I did this to visually communicate the strength and softness of my relationship with my mother and to remind me that I will always of a piece of her with me.  Inspiration Yukio Takano https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2013/02/led-mushroom-lights-by-yukio-takano/ Aaroon Laux https://www.artfulhome.com/product/Art-Glass-Wood-Wall-Sculpture/Ghost-Image/106875?epik=dj0yJnU9cFJEZVlia0F4b0pxR01UaG1vOVczTjN3RjkzVG0yNFImcD0wJm49bzI4ZkFZTHh
