This is the Google Sketch-up rendering of my “Passage” assignment for last semester’s Portfolio class.
Finished lamp. I’ll have better pictures soon. The lamp shade is a cotton twill that is held onto the frame by velcro so that it is easily removed and washed. The whole lamp collapses into a two inch high box (a long one) in the spirit of Ikea. Measurements, 6′x2′x1′.
This is my double sided RISD drawing. Graphite on semi-translucent rice paper. When viewed in person one side presents a keyhole showing a sleeping girl. The reality of the scene is revealed on the other side. Was rather annoying to draw because of the inability to erase on the rice paper.
My text drawing for RISD. A museum show concept poster. Designed to look like actual pages from the artist/architect/designer’s journal. India ink, watercolor and tea reduction sauce (no, I’m not kidding) on heavy watercolor paper. My first time using watercolors. The font (in the spirit of the artist himself) is a custom font, an amalgam of several designed by Mackintosh.
My RISD bike drawing. Tried to use a cartoonish/70′s/Crumb style here. Lots of political references. Simple looking, but spent longer on this than any other drawing to date. Lots of little details.
“Prison of the Mind”
My first metal and wood sculpture. Now taking up lots of space in my living room. About the height of a bar.
Photo assignment. Never really used a camera as an artist’s tool before.
More coming. Still some pieces to photograph from last semester, already started on pieces for this semester.
