I’ve been interested in the fragmentation of the figure for a long time. About a year ago, I was loading one of my life-sized figures into the kiln – part by part (it would later be glued together). Before I shut the kiln, I noticed how the parts looked, and snapped a photo of them intriguingly nestled together. I’m finally pursuing that moment. So far, here we are.
NCECA, as always, was wonderful. I had the opportunity to get critiques from a few professors. Their insights into my work were encouraging. Now, back to the studio to continue exploring new directions. I’ve posted a couple links about Roberto Lugo, one of this year’s Emerging Artists. He’s a tremendously inspiring, artist-activist.
In the meantime, I have a new piece showing at Carnegie Craft from April 4 – 26. The opening is on Friday April 10, 7 – 9:30pm.
I want to keep growing this pile of heads. I’m excited to shoot the work outside of the studio, imbuing it with more meaning due to the site of installation.
I’m really interested in how the drying process affected the Hanging Lady. The random cracks cause me to think of how I could use this in future work. Hmm…
She’s done. Here are a couple more process shots. Shots of the finished work are under Work: Installations.
We’re all working long and hard. Our installations are beginning to look like their intended result. A lot further to go still.
After a day of brainstorming and planning, we began building the framework for each of our installations in the Turner Gallery.
