Project Four: Multiples

For this project we had to create a 2' x 2' sculpture of something using multiples of an object. I had a lot of old cell phones and some old house phones lying around, so I decided to do that. I also asked my uncle for his old cells since he used to have this business they provided work phones for, that was tremendously helpful. My sisters even pitched in; those lovely ladies. Anyways, I built a phone tower (like a cell tower, it's punny, get it??). I put the oldest ones at the bottom and worked my way up from there. Rotary to Droid; an evolution of phones.

The craftsmanship could have been better I realize, but these phones had to be returned to their owners once I was finished. So I had to resort to electric tape instead of something as hidden as epoxy. For that I apologize. I made due with what I had, and I seriously rebuilt this thing like 3 or 4 times. Took maybe 2 hrs each time. Ridiculous.

Project Three: Clay Metamorphosis

For this project we had to create two 8" sculptures of two different objects and then combine aspects of each of them into one 10" metamorphosis sculpture. I did a moon and a sandcastle. Then created a broken rook with moon craters. The reason why I chose these two because when you build a big sandcastle on a beach, you put so much effort into it, and you're so proud at the end result and by the end of the day the tide has washed it away. What I'm getting at is that the moon controls the tide, so this piece is about how the moon is cause of the sandcastles destruction. Hence the broken rook.

Here they are all fired, I'll upload more pics once they're finished being painted.

Okay here are the finished pieces, all painted! The sancastle has a drawbridge on the front and little windows on all towers. The moon is painted so that if you turn it you can see the phases. The rook starts out as night sky fades to beach. Personally, my favorite is the rook.

Project Two: Wire Sculpture

This post is a little late being posted, but it's finally here. The project was to build something about 18" in one dimension, and to solder. Done.

There's supposed to be a little man in the swing, but he's been living in my room for while now. But here it is- my swingset!
