Coke.



made from coke bottles.
representing the ammount of coke bottles i find each day walking to class from the carpark at uni.
the sculptures are meant to look like weeds... the transparency is representing the killing of the nature for these bits of plastic to be there.

lesson learnt.... next time wear a gas mask while melting plastic... lol!

Natures nest eggs.

Another sculpture assignment...
it was about 'process'....
the process involved was collecting and responding to a certain site.





THE BODY SERIES #1

i'm not really sure what the assignment was for this...
i was really just having fun experimenting with the images that can be created by the human form.
my favourite one is the one that looks like a mountain. (thats my knee).



Stradbroke camp.

First year fine art students go on a weekend camp to create art on beautiful stradbroke island.
Here is the exhibition we held once we got home from straddy.

The sheets on the wall were the collaborative works, my group's were the two on the left, and the one made into a tent.

At the beginning of the camp we were given pieces of paper (message sticks) and we were supposed to create a work depicting our time on camp...
mine is below...

Footprints sculpture

will leave footprints in your heart.

This sculpture instillation represents the people that have been in my life that have had a significance.
the assignment was to create a sculpture showing a presence through absence".

made by masking tape moulds, socks and mum's good house paint :o) (sorry mum!)

Sculpture 1.

My first sculpture assignment.

Made from Clear Packing tape.
the table and cairs represent the snack foods that are sold at the shops these are photopgraphed at. They look like a table and chair, just like a bowl of chips looks like food... wheras there is no value to it, you can't sit on them, just like you get no nutritional value from chips.





Jewellery and Small Objects



This assignment, made from Copper and other random materials (street directory) was for an assignment about 'place', in particular places that are special to people.
The houses represent the homes people live in, with the symbols as windows suggesting that each there are many differences within the community (represented by the fragmented map underneath). inside the houses are similarly special objects representing the people inside.
Because the viewer had to look through the window to see what it was inside, this was to give a feeling of being intrusive or 'sneaky'.
