"Eyepoke"
A creature of the senses, this ceramic sculpture depicts a living hand in its natural habitat.
"The Daydreamer"
A fully functional, self-made custom guitar celebrating the magic of imagination and the never-ending pursuit of conceptuality.
"A Sacrifice"
Developed using metal, wood, and clay, this mixed media piece explores themes of body horror and being overtaken by elements out of your control. Initially being three individual sculptures per each respective medium, I designed each with the other in mind, the first of which was the head. Created initially from a live model with the goal of being a 1:1 facial recreation, once proportions were set, I began altering my own work and using the base as its own canvas. Even still, creating visual cohesion and a sense of motion was a continual effort that I mediated through color and visual repetition. Once all the parts were welded, screwed, and glued together (apart from the ever so detachable head), I taped around the parts intended only to have a cherry wood stain applied, and sprayed the entire structure with a base coat. Afterwards, the rest of the palette came to form through hand-painting, color changing spray paint, and wood stain.
