We Were the Memory of a Place




























































22" x 26" x 18"
Hot glue, cinder blocks, river stones


This project has a lot to do with memory, but maybe not in a way that I can share with you; a few certain memories that I have, that I share with only one or two other people, centering on a specific physical place that has been surprisingly important to me in the past few years. Some things can't be told or shared entirely.

The Perfect Human Project


















30" x 40"
Charcoal

When I have a better photo of this, I will definitely put it up. But for right now, this is hanging out on the wall of my living room. The lighting is terrible... That's what fluorescent lighting mixed with an itty bitty clamp light will get you.

Twenty Three Point Six Plus One









54" x 15" x 5.5"
Wood, toilet paper, 12 volt motor


Americans use 23.6 rolls of toilet paper per capita every year.

Recently in my Printmaking class, we tackled out first Aquatint assignment. Mine did not turn out as planned, and I will be working more on it to make it the way that I wanted, but I've started liking the way that the first version looks, in its own way. It has a weird look like some messed up old photograph.

You can expect to see it again once it's done, though.

Teatime


























































17" x 12" x 11"
Plywood

I will forever be surprised by the strength of wood glue (and wood glue is all that this is bound with) as I continue to throw, kick, and generally manhandle this sculpture, with few ill effects.
