These Thoughts are Jagged

Summer 2009

Sketchbook 

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. 

"Everything is Illuminated"

Summer 2009

20x 24" 

Working here to incorporate intricacy while still leaving a negative margin. The imagery is a blend of deep sea and exploration; the element of surprise upon discovery. This is a result of me watching too much History Channel...

Untitled

Summer 2009

13x 18"

Experimenting with shape and structural landscapes. The first perspective looks like an island falling while in the second perspective appears more like a spaceship flying. Once again, I would rather my work be open to different interpretations. I am always changing my mind. 

Chair #1

Spring 2009

aprox 24x 24x 36"

Looked at Frank Lloyd Wright furniture and art deco work. I wanted to focus on geometrical framework and play with the grain of the wood. 

The Golden-Dipped Throne

Spring 2009

aprox 36x 48x 60"

A sculpture I did for a two-week group exhibition called Art Bash. Proud to say it is a functional, outdoor throne. Long process; twenty cans of gold spray paint, a lot of material, and tiring hours. Little art generated this past spring due to the fact this took so much time. But it was worth it, nothing has felt more rewarding.

Untitled (Genie #1)

Winter 2009

aprox 8x 11"

Page in a book I made titled, "Genie in a Bottle". Sources of inspiration: Holla Mohalla Festival in India, Hindu art and color. 

Serrated Summits 

Winter 2009

18x 24" 

This is the first painting I did after my first semester; its important to note I usually do not paint on canvas, so this was a frustrating process. I began with an old canvas I had previously painted back in 2007, and taped off certain areas to paint black. I originally was aiming for something similar to the inside of a cave. But that quickly morphed into this, which to me seems more like icebergs or mountains.
