BFA Progress: Week 9

For this week, I focused only on sculpture! That meant absolutely no painting -- aside from painting the edges of some of the sculptures. I started with mimicking the work I've been making for independent study. I felt I needed to start in a place where I was already feeling most creative to get me into the groove. It worked! I mixed air dry porcelain with leftover shredded yarn and kneaded them together to create these tiny animorphic sculptures. I dipped the first few in watered down ink before they dried completely and it created a really nice reddish-brown hue. It was really important to me to make things that still resonated with my paintings and I feel as though the colors in these do that.

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.

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 13

For this week, I re-photographed my littles beans and used Lightroom to tweak the lighting in most of them. I tried my best with help from my friend that has experience with it. I grouped them based on color and shape, as well as other characteristics.
