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.

  "To have a souvenir of the exotic is to possess both a specimen and a trophy."  I chose this photo of a dime that I found because in my family dimes are very special. I was always told that is you find a dime it means someone is looking out for you. After my mom passed I started finding them a lot more and every time I do I reminded that she is still with me.  I keep all the dimes I find a jar next to a photo of my mom and I. "The body is the primary mode of perceiving scale."  This is a photo I took of a bridge in Jacksonville at sunset I chose this photo to go along with this quote because I thought it was a good representation of showing scale between a person and a large object (the bridge) "The souvenir reduces the public, the monumental  and the three-dimensional into the miniature, that which can be enveloped by the body." This is a photo of a card that you get from one of those fortune telling machines. It reminds me of a very fond memory I have

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
