BFA Portfolio: Week 4

I was given scraps of leather from the previous class and wanted to turn them into something that could be seen as tribal. The feel and durability of leather is something that is very important to me because it withstands the test of time. Suede in particular is by far my favorite because of its soft texture. It's reminiscent of the fibers in a way because I deliberately choose things that are soft to the touch. This week was a turning point for me when it came to realizing why I love and am so drawn to textiles and fibers. I worked on making the air dry porcelain a big bigger, and extended the length on the pieces. I was too nervous to bring it to the floor in fear of tangling, but now this seems to be an eventuality that is hard to avoid given its storage.

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.

BFA Progress: Week 12

For this week, I tried my best to photograph in different ways. I used the same set-up, however I wanted to know what grouping them more closely would look like. I enjoy both equally, but in order to get better images for the website, I figured getting more in one shot would be more helpful. I will probably have to re-photograph a majority of these as these photos were mainly grouped by when I made them so I could keep track of the work I'd already posted.
