they hit me with a truck » strange growth
Posted 23 months ago
These three pieces are part of a series of flowers. For now, they are untitled, but they have the working titles of “silver flower,” “red flower” and “rainbow.” The two with open petals measure approximately three feet across, witht the vines running close to 6 feet in lenth. The silver flower is about 5 feet long with the vines straightened, ... [Link]
they hit me with a truck » plants that don’t need water
Posted 23 months ago
Measuring 12″x4″x4″ (13″ circumference), this currently untitle piece derives from much the same idea as “Is she married…”, being constructed of masking tape and utilizing no other materials or colors. Potted plants are decorative by nature, and by stripping this image of a household flower of the charm for which flowers are generally chosed, it loses its purpose and becomes ... [Link]
they hit me with a truck » Cat ladies have time for tea…
Posted 23 months ago
This piece, “Is she married? No, she’s a cat lady” seeks to examine the way in which society views individuals, particularly women who choose a life that doesn’t fit expectations. “Cat lady” is the title given to women who chose a life that would have been described as spinsterhood in the recent past. The use of masking tape to construct ... [Link]

SCULPTURE II 2008 » Fourth Sculpture
Posted 23 months ago
When it comes to using color I do not feel very confident. This piece has allowed me start using color more often in my work. It is important for me to be able to work with different media and incorporate experiment with things that I do not feel comfortable with. [Link]
SCULPTURE II 2008 » Third Sculpture
Posted 23 months ago
The text that is framed in the back of the piece by the wooden squares is interrupted by the horizontal piece that runs from one side to the other. The barrier makes the reading of the text difficult. Working with text and communication is something that I am interested in exploring. Xu Bing’s installations are a great example of the ... [Link]
they hit me with a truck » Letters to a Young Poet
Posted 23 months ago
I have to say that I read “Letters to a Young Poet” in one sitting; its short, but thats not why it took so little time. Rilke’s ideas concerning life, and particularly that part of life that is solitude, spoke to me not only as an artist, but as a human being. To live is to essentially be alone; no ... [Link]
Not For Nothing » “Labyrinth”
Posted 23 months ago
Statement of Intent- “Labyrinth,” a wall piece composed of dryer lint and wire, has an uneasy overtone to it. When people think of dryer lint they image softness. However, when they move in to touch the piece they see what looks to be barbed wire. Their reaction to touch the piece is soon squashed by the fear of being cut. ... [Link]
Not For Nothing » “Home Is Where The <3 Is”
Posted 23 months ago
Statement of Intent- “Home Is Where The Heart Is,” a loom crossed-stitched with dryer lint, is a feminist piece due to the materials and the girly color pink. Being hinged to the wall, the piece lends itself to be examined by the viewer from the front and the back, seeing the process and the finished product. The piece connects the ... [Link]

SCULPTURE II 2008 » Second Sculpture
Posted 23 months ago
. . . The idea to make sculpture came from the first one. I employed the same materials and figure. the difference in this sculpture is the size of the figures and the amount. This piece reflects some of my beginning work where I used traditional connotations and repetition. [Link]

Not For Nothing » “Letters to a Young Poet”
Posted 24 months ago
Over Spring Break I had the privilege of reading “Letters to a Young Poet,” by Rainer Maria Rilke with the intention of relating it directly to art. My goal was easily gained from the start of the book. Some parts of the book seemed as if they were speaking directly to me or setting new light upon my previous methods ... [Link]
Not For Nothing » BEAR!
Posted 24 months ago
Statement of Intent: “Bear,” branching off of “Hamster Fanfare,” measures 10 ¾” x 5” x 5 ¼” and is made from chicken wire, packing tape and dryer lint. The theme of “Bear” was quickness, just like little animals are often considered, and this quickness led to the choice in materials. “Bear” has a simple appearance to her, with a translucent ...

they hit me with a truck » moving away from cats for a little while…
Posted 24 months ago
I have recently been doing some research into the realm of paper clothing. The creation of a paper dress, which is a project I hope to overtake now, is intriguing in several ways. One can attempt to transcend the material and transform it into an illusion of actual cloth, or the nature of the paper can be retained. There is ... [Link]

When looking at first at this artist’s work, some of her pieces look, at first, as if they were piles of stuff without any form or planning. However when looking at these works up close one can see how organized and balanced these pieces really are. The works are wonderful compositions that use repetition throughout the whole piece. The artist uses many materials in each composition, and each one of those materials has a specific place in the compositions as well.

This is very different from the pieces of the last post, where the artists worked with a single material. Sarah Sze uses many, many different materials to create her extra-large pieces. Her work is a great example of using many materials and going crazy without looking like something exploded and just happened. In the detailed pictures of her work, it is obvious that it is neatly, and meticulously made, but still retains the excitement of a chaos of materials. The chaos of materials is put together in a very neat and ordered way, which creates an interesting contrast between the composition and the materials.

I think Sarah Sze’s work is what the inside of a child’s imagination looks. It it so fantasy like and can be looked at from afar and up close, which is always great for any piece. Attachment is also huge in this piece and would be nothing without it! I’m just picturing how it would look with globs of hot glue all over it and my image is yucky!
