BFA Portfolio: Week 3

I continued to stick with painting on the side, but also experimented with sculptural forms. This was the week when I embraced my deep connection with fibers. They were seen as ornamental and organic, just as my painting, but with a more lifelike attribute to them. The variation in texture was intentional. Knot making as a form of communication was something else that I found interesting, and decided to continue on the journey of abstract sculptural forms. I still prefer to stick to a muted color palette, and the greens that I used reflected that intent. The more I look at the paintings that I turned in this week, the more I begin to appreciate that color because of its ability to relax and rejuvenate the soul.

BFA Progress: Week 10

I stuck with the same small shapes this week, but towards the end modified them a bit. I feel more comfortable working with these shapes, even though they aren't on the canvas. They allow me to connect with my work by holding it in the center of my palm. I would say that I definitely always feel the need to forge a relationship between my small scale-sculptures and myself.

BFA Progress: Week 11

Past Work Current Work For this week, I decided to re-photograph all of my previous pieces in a normal setting. I used natural light on the patio but rigged a little "photo booth" area where I can get the most open space/light. I had to tweak the lighting a bit in order to ensure that I got the most vibrancy in the photos. Definitely liking the direction I've chosen to go. Of course, I do miss painting but these little pieces are so satisfying that they make up for it. I'll more than likely make some paintings on the side to boost my creative process.
