Delicate Flower



To practice using oil based clay and enhance my sculpting abilities I created a small sculpture of a flower. It is very small being only 2" all the way around plus a little extra for the wooden support and clay base. It's a good start for an unfamiliar medium. 

Sandy Wave




This is a piece where I created something to fulfill the required dimensions using a frame, skin, and sewing element. The dimensions were 3'X5" with at least 2' of sewing. As I began constructing it, it reminded me of a sharp and powerful wave like the ones surfers encounter and try to ride. Since not all waves are so striking I decided to make my sewed, fabric pieces to resemble the more organic and calm nature of a wave. By using the sand paper as a skin I found a fun way to interpret more natural elements since water can get infused with sand from beaches and so on. 

Missing Link Sketches

Here are some sketches brainstorming ideas and materials I could utilize to fill the empty space found in my apartment's laundry room wall:
