J+K Gallery

September 10th was the opening of a group show I am a part of at J+K Gallery in Arcadia. The theme of the show is "Process" and deals with unveiling the process that the artist goes through to get to a finished piece. I submitted finished pieces as well as photographs that show some of my process.

 

Some of the above photos were taken by my friend Ophelia

because, well... I had my camera with me, but like I always do, I forgot to use it. 

The following Images were take with my cell phone while I was making 

this sculpture.

The show runs until November 12th.

Summer scholarship wall

This is my wall showing for scholarship this term.
This is work I've done in the last few months.
A recurrent theme that i have been working on (consciously and subconsciously) is the idea of the human body as landscape.
I feel as if I'm barely scratching the surface on this topic.
I will continue to explore it.

Everybody likes Balloons

This is a piece I made for a group show at Canteen Gallery in Canada.
The theme of the show was 99 Red Balloons.

Senior Drawing Projects

One of my favorite classes, and one in which I feel I've made work that really means something to me.

flesh, glass, and light

So for a while I was(and still am) fascinated by the kind of images I've been getting by scanning myself. I've been using myself as a model, because it's easier then to try to direct someone else.

At first I was doing them to use them as reference, but I think I got to the point where I feel that the scans speak for themselves. I don't think that they need to be translated into a drawing or painting. Aside from a little color correction and some cropping, I'm enjoying them as they are.

Iron and Wine

This is a portrait of Sam Beam.
comp, final, detail.

Here I Dreamt I was an Architect

by the Decemberists
And I am nothing of a builder
But here I dreamt I was an architect
And I build this balustrade
To keep you home, to keep you safe
From the outside world
But the angles and the corners
Even though my work is unparalleled
They never seemed to meet
This structure fell about our feet
And we were free to go

Harold and Maude

One of my favorite movies.

Fleet Foxes

This piece is a portrait of Robin Pecknold of the Fleet Foxes. What I really liked about drawing him was that his hair is brown and his beard is red. Does that happen a lot? I don't know, but it's pretty cool. The first picture is the comp and the second is the final.
