PHANTOM BODIES Neutral Setting Documentation + Reflection

For this project, I used several materials: Clothes, Plaster, Rebar, Yarn. I tried to create a flower pot with a flower in it using different items within the semester. I placed the project outside to show how it is trying to be a part of nature. However, the items used are not allowing it to "blend in" as it stands out as a ingenuine exotic flower and flower pot. This piece was created with the intention of it standing out as it has many different colors, which contrast with the plain white hands/ flower pot. I think this piece gives a message of not being afraid of standing and it's necessary to blend in.

PHANTOM BODIES Casting Tests

Fortunately, the first molds I created made up my final project.

BODILY STRUCTURES Neutral Setting Documentation + Reflection

This project is suppose to represent a birthday cake hat. It was made using rebar, clothes, and hot glue. The clothes came from my closet, my parents’ closet, and my boyfriend’s family’s closet. All these different pieces have a memory attached to it, which is the concept for the birthday cake. As the candle goes out more and more clothes seem to be added. As one gets older, more and more memories are created. There’s one candle that isn’t lit, which means the person holding it is somewhat older. The piece itself reveals one’s age, which allows for the art is speak for itself.

de-TABLE-ization Neutral Setting Documentation + Reflection:

In this project, I attempted to make a pool table. It ended up being very woobly because of the car ride from my house to class. It was positioned sideways which made one of the legs get looser. Because of how delicate it ended up being, the pool table is unplayable. I borrowed my boyfriend’s pool table accessories to add more to the table. This made it seem even more playable. It almost tricks the viewers. I made sure to make a triangle ball rack because I wanted it to still look like a pool table even without all the accessories I didn’t create.
