Copic/Mixed Media:
Masking Tape Toolbox
A tiny object that represents me, a rebuild of my Grandfather's drafting toolbox from the 1950's that was gifted to me when he passed and contains my most prized art tools. Includes scenes of the forest where I feel most safe and grew up inside.Part of a 3D design class that challenged students to make projects with only Tape, Paper, Glue and Wire.
Crab in paint Cup:
Part of a mixed media art instillation, this crab was made to match the colors of cyanotypes and showcase the impact of Ocean Trash on animal life
3D-Sculpture-"Anxiety"
A wire sculpture study meant to depict two objects interacting in a 3D modeling class.It depicts a once humanoid monster with that is larger than life pushing another figure over the edge. it's form has come unraveled--such as it's untangling exposed spine-- due to it's state of mind leaving it as just a giant mouth, arms and teeth that loom over the other figure who attempts to shield their face from the oncoming attack instead of reach out for help.
