Construction (Organic Sculpture)

 Contraction 

Wood, Yarn, Ink, Hot Glue, Tape, Wire 

6"x 4" x "4
















My intent was to visual communicate contrusction imagery into these sculptures. I wanted to focus on that imagery because I believe that art can be a very chaotic process that can also have structure, similar to contraction sites. The making of these sculptures exposed me to ideas of letting my process be messy to then later refine.

The Scent Calling home (Relief Sculpture)

Image
  The Scent Calling Back Home Premium Paper, Plastic Bag, Acrylic Paint, Ink, 3D Printed Materials, Hot Glue 10 x 14 x 1.5 inches The Sculpture explores all the little things that can remind someone of home. There are four elements of my own personal callings of home, the most noticeable one being the Clorox scent coming off the piece. The other elements are the fake flowers and plants, which my mother has plenty of, the honeycombs for the bees that come during spring back home, and the mass amount of plastic bags our family collects. Each are their own calling of home to me, which is why it hold significance to me. Elsa Mora Nori Koambe Hannah Vogel

Mana (Memento)

Image
  Mana Wood, Ink, Gel Medium 2" x 2" x 2" This sculpture reflects times when I'm finally able to go home from college. Since I get there before my sister wakes, I always startle her awake in her bed as a surprise. The yellow reflects both the color of her room and the warm joy I have at being able to return home again. The wood represents the many years we've grown up with one another. The gel medium is the glue, representing our bond.  Inspiration Lenka Clayton Anthony Roussel Chris Weaver
