These masks were for our final project. There just pieces of old palm trees that i found on the ground. I started noticing the formality of them, but at the same time how unique each one was. Very much like a humans face. we all have the same parts and reletively similar structure, but undoubtably we all look different. So i painted the same face on every single piece, but the final outcome was a dozen individual personalities. 

This video was my interpretation of our conversations assignment. My character was a boy who spent most his childhood living along a creek. Raised by nature, spending most of his time alone. The sound of my feet maintain a steady rhythm similar to a song.

My wire figures were done as an example of our stencil quick challenge. I tried to mimic the same gestural lines i use when i draw to create a simple one-line "stencil" 

Another quick challenge was scratching. so ironically i scratched metal with sandpaper to create a smooth surface. I pounded raw copper into thin bands then formed them into various shapes while they were still malliable. I made two bracelets and a ring

These are a few examples of transparent. the cd case was already transparent so i decided to let it be a retracting window that would change my characters face. while the guitar in a box is a sort of folk-art shrine.

these cacoon looking lanterns are made of modge podge and thread. i just wound and wound and they would create these abstract organic sculptures. a pleasant surprise everytime

all of these outfits were made with the same piece of material. i made about 150 different dress designs with one piece of fabric. it was about 2 feet wide and 30 feet long! no strings or pins, just wrapping and tucking.
