Objects Sale

Every other semester we have a sale with a student run organization called Objects. This organization is for metals and sculpture majors, and helps organize and put out work as well as brings in artists for lectures, critiques, and workshops. This semester there will be a sale with the members of the organization that use discarded, overused, and valueless objects from our everyday lives. All of the work is to be wearable jewelry with the design and flare of each student. Being that I work in the wood shop the amount of scrape wood and plexiglass that come through here I find it only fitting that I attempt to use it. I have no exact plans as of yet what will come out of it, but there are always interesting and amazing pieces that are made by these people. When some photos come available I will get them up here.

Final Semester

I am finally back in school for my last semester and I have two projects that I will be working on that tie into my spherical body of work. One will be working with an insect/sea creature. The other pieces that I have made for this body presented preciousness with a silver rim placed upon each rim. I am looking to obscure that preciousness by moving and transforming the rim in different manners. I would like the second piece to do this as well, but due to time restraints it may only be possible to have one piece like that and the other be development of patination.
