Personal Project

What do you want the piece to visually communicate? 
How will materials, processes and scale inform the work?






-- I wanted my work to serve as a functioning object you see in everyday life. I added a 
twist to my table by adding another common object. The contrast between the wood and the
metal ashtray is meant to attract the viewer's and have them take a closer look.


-- My materials were destructed table pieces that I reconstructed back together to form a new 
object. The ashtray is a finishing touch that adds a compliment to the wood, visually engaging the
viewers. 


My inspiration for this project did not come from viewing other artists and gaining ideas. I took what my 
professor had taught me and built off my experiences throughout the class. Inspirational ideas for me would be
taking destructed furniture and repairing it to serve as a different functioning form. 

Homemade Painting Tools

My idea was to create painting utensils that created different textures and lines on a piece of canvas. I wanted to keep to the wood approach so I took a wooden broom handle and applied it to each of my tools. The materials were all recycled that I had found throughout the semester. The tools allow the user to explore textures and applications of paint. 

My thoughts on "No Contents" are that it is very interesting about the letter and the British Prime Minister. The continuous talking and recording looses my interests and sometimes leaves me lost. Besides the interesting content about nuclear war, the rambling leaves me disinterested and wanted
visual imagery.

--I wanted to create tools that applied paint uniquely
--I wanted them all to different and mimic how we apply paint today
--The roller mimics a roller, the cork relates to the sponges we use, the loose thread is a different form
of a fan brush and the glow stick shows how we flick paint
