Fault

Here are some detail shots of another drawing series that I just finished entitled "Fault". 

 

 Each full drawing is 22"x30", pencil on paper.

Feeling kind of lost lately as I'm in this transitional stage in life.  I don't know.

Hibernation

I've been away from art all summer, which I must admit has been both a good and bad decision on my part.  I have been catching up on sleep, hanging out with friends before they move on from Tallahassee.  However, I've also been severely suffering from lack of inspiration.  Last semester just wore me out.  So, here is my first attempt at getting back into the art groove.  DRAWING LINES ON A PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT WITH A SHARPIE.  It's not much, but I guess it's something.

Damaged Goods

 

White earthenware (press molds and slip casting) and sand, 2012.

A progression through time, a lifelong struggle.

Thirsty?

This is a new project that I have started in Pamela's class.  I am casting beer bottles... I don't think I want to go into the meaning so much yet, because this is really a piece that will be about process.

Here is the making of the worst mold on the planet.

This was my first slip cast ever! I can't use it because there is so much plaster on it and of course it did not come out in one piece... but it's still awesome to see a pretty much exact replica of something that you created yourself! 

Keeping this for sentimental value because I am weird.

Update

How has the entire month of October already come and gone?! Tallahassee has yet to feel a consistent fall breeze, although the nights have been cool and wonderful.  We have been spending them with good friends at the Princess House playing backyard football, carving pumpkins, sitting around our brand spankin' new fire pit, and indulging in some AMAZING food (it surprises me how good we actually are at cooking).

The BFA warehouse has been cooling down a lot and I have been trying to get some work done over there too! My parents finally got to see my space when they came to visit us.  Speaking of work, I have had a zillion projects going on and am feeling very in over my head, which is frustrating.  Guess it is finally time to learn some time management!

So until I can learn to juggle school, work, and play like a grown-up, I'll just enjoy the beginning of fall in Florida.

My studio all finished... well, for the most part!

Come on, people.

Can I please just go on a rant for a moment here?

I love Flickr. Love the Interestingness in the Last Seven Days page. But I'm getting really freaking sick of every girl's photographs looking like yyellowbird's. And I love her stuff, don't get me wrong. But I thought I was loving photography that was new and exciting.

I'm tired of seeing girls with great, messy hairstyles taking a million pictures of themselves. Get out there, it's a great big world.
