Wrapped Body Final and Statement


 Statement:
After many attempts for this project I came across this. Using a gray sheet and a string of colorful lights in the dark I captured my figure in various positions to focus in on my figure. The variety of colors present can be an expression of emotion surrounded by this void of black as the figure attempts to break free and express itself in its own way.

Statement:

After conducting my research various elements from the pictures were taken and put within each sculpture. The line work was heavily inspired by vines and roots given their natural random position. Black ink was splattered on a few sculptures to mimic the way dew sits on a blade of grass. Most the designs were based off the shapes of flower heads as well as many random impulses to create unique designs different from each other in drastic ways.

Dinner and a Movie Visual Final


 

Statement:

For my Dinner and a Movie project I decided to go with the movie John Wick. The overall theme that this movie delivers is revenge. John Wick loses his wife and in her will he receives a puppy to provided him comfort. John then comes across a young mobster who demands his car. John refuses and the mobster and his crew break in steal the car and murder his dog. John now goes on a blood-filled path of revenge in honor of his wife. 

I started off with a black cloth which brings this dark tone to the overall image. The pocket watch and rose are used to represent the loss of his wife. There are many meanings behind the rose, here it is used as both a symbol of death and romance. I wanted something to symbolize the journey John will take. There are plenty of guns in the movie but I believe bullets were the proper way to show his journey for revenge. The knives are used to reflect the intensity that is brought to the film, fading into the black table cloth allows the blades to stand out. Arranging the objects in a symmetrical pattern is a reflection on how John Wick is a very organized man.
