Title: Flowers on the Mountain

Materials: Watercolor paper, Printer paper, Wood glue

Size: Height 8 In, Diameter 11 In

Detail #1: I created flowers out of multiple cutouts and layered them to make a 3D effect

Detail #2: For the mountain, I crumpled watercolor paper a bunch and made ot wet with water and glue to give the hill a textured look.

Landscape with hills and a little house, influenced by traditions of old Chinese art, watercolor painting on paperhttps://www.artelista.com/en/artwork/painting-landscape-with-chinese-houses-in-hills-1241407

These artworks were used for my inspiration because they were visually appealing and show the landscape and history in which this sculpture was to be designed around. Mountains, Rocks, Traditional Architecture, Flowers, and Texture. All these played into my sculpture.

Deception.

Materials: Cardboard, Duct Tape (Black and Silver), Fake fur textile, Metal scrap parts

Size: Width 2.5 In, Height 13.5 In, Depth 6 In

Artist Statement:

I designed this box and the objects inside to visibly convey a sense of deception and misrepresentation. For that, I choose to make the outside of the box friendly-looking and inviting. It looks nice to the touch and like it would have toys or plushies inside. Yet, inside, there are interesting-looking tools that aren't actually tools and can't be used. Confusing and leads to a misconception of what would be inside. I show that through the photographs taken of my box.

Notes:

For my research, I blindly chose two of the example Fluxus boxes that caught my attention. And for the two movies that I wanted to use for this project were Wicked and Star Wars. With all these factors playing roles in my box, I choose a theme of deception. In both movies, it is a common theme, along with the two boxes I chose, it makes sense, but it doesn't, it also appears to be something that isn't. So for my box, I recreated that.

The Secret Lives of Color

Color: Mountbatten Pink

Title: Battle At Dusk

Materials: Acrylic Paint

After reading the chapter on Mountbatten Pink in the book The Secret Lives of Color, I learned that long ago, during wars and battles, they would take cover during dusk and dawn, and the color of the sky that reflected onto the water was this color. So they decided to paint their ships this color, which came to be known as Mountbatten Pink. At the time, it served as their camouflage; it is no longer used for that purpose. So I decided to use Mountbatten Pink on my whole canvases and create boats out of the colors used to create the distinct shade of pink. Showing the history and the creation of the color

Color: Electric Blue

Title: Light it Up

Materials: Lamp/Light Bulb, Acrylic Paint

After reading about the color Electric Blue in our book, The Secret Lives of Colors, I learned that this color represents standing out, energy, and excitement. So I decided to paint a light bulb the color Electric blue so that I could plug the light in and it would radiate the vibrant color to show what the color means: standing out, energy, and excitement.

Reflection Statement:

These three sculptures visually represent repetition, focal point, and negative space. While exploring the variety of materials available to us, I discovered how flexible and adaptable textiles can be. This allowed me to manipulate them to fit my vision rather than working against their limitations. I intentionally made the sculptures slightly wonky and unconventional, as those qualities help them stand out and give each piece its own distinct character. Through creating these works, I was able to experiment with textiles I hadn’t used before and push their limits, while also learning how forgiving and versatile they can be.
