Table/Display Case

8"x 24"x 36"

Built a trapezoid base with a rectangle box that can function as a table, bookshelf, or display case. Wanted to explore shape and angles, as well as finishes.

Fliptop Ottaman 

16x 16x 16" 

First case good piece with an upholstered seat cushion, which flips into a hand veneered tabletop. Also functions as a storage compartment.  Built out of Medex for durability and structure. 

*Note, this was my teacher's design. The only thing I could change were the finishes and treatment to the sides of the ottaman.

Untitled Installation

aprox. 5 to 10"

An installation inspired by deep sea creatures and Antarctic structures. Formed out of gel gloss, then hand stitched. I am going to revisit the piece this week and experiment with different ways of displaying them. Hanging the mini sculptures just didn't work to show the patterns of the gloss or the composition underneath.

Possible plan for a sculpture. I am aiming to transform some of these drawings into three dimensional forms, bridging that gap between two technical boundaries. Lately, I have been admiring AJ Fosik, with his methods for translating the tension between two and three dimensional art. The thought of constructing this seems dangerously intimidating. Angles, angles, and more angles. But, that said, I probably will attempt something anyways.
