Custom Kicks Materials: Masking Tape

Focused Space The two pieces are focused on the element of space and the principle of focal point. The piece that resembles space was crafted using several pieces of wood all sanded down to a triangular shape and held together using straight pins and wood glue. The wood glue gives a very smooth texture to the wood on the parts it covers. The space was created by connecting the triangular shapes to make an irregular open sided pyramid. The space was then enclosed by making a netting using string formed from rolled up masking tape. Making this netting closes off the opening and creates a unique space of its own disconnected from where its placed, yet still visible to viewers. The piece that reflects focal point using a form that looks like droplets as the center piece of the sculpture. The outer from is meant to be very plain with wood glue hardened in a layer on the top and bottom of the piece to give the piece some weight and hold the pieces together a little m...

Lost at Sea When it comes to memory, I do not remember so much as instances, but emotion. When I was younger, all I remember were times when I was happy and when I was sad, there was not much more than those two feelings when I was younger. As I started to grow, my capacity for emotions and my ability to understand them grew wider and wider. While emotions became more complex, they still ranged in two ways, bad and good. This piece portrays my life and how I have travelled these emotions and have experienced the many highs an lows I have experienced as well as the times of complacency and numbness. At the beginning, the ocean was small and there is not much to explore, but what I gained the capacity to travel farther, it lead me to new depth and heights. The paper which these emotional islands and crevices are placed on represent how unstable the ocean we travel is and how it can easily expand if we just learn how to move past the borders. The individual pins in ...

Beautiful Misery When I think of masked identity, I see someone who is trying not to conceal their face, but who they are on the inside. By hiding who they are, they conceal the parts that the other should know by showing only what they want others to see. They entice people with the fantasy they present, hiding facts about them that could hurts others behind a beautiful facade, thus the transformation from a purple bloom to represent fantasy, to a rich blue of thorns to represent the melancholy that represents the sorrow they bring to those who are not wary. People are scared of revealing everything about themselves to others out of fear of being rejected as s people might not want to deal with someone that could hurt them, so they draw them in using selective facts about themselves to attract others. The ring seen on the model holds a ruby, which symbolizes life-force and courage, to symbolize the courage needed to keep growing and how much more ful...

Fractured Perception A memento is something that embodies a personal experience in a object that can be enveloped by the body. Mementos are usually something that remind us of a trip of a happy experience, but there are some that remind us of dark times as well. For me, this memento represents a darker and unstable time in my life. This memento takes inspiration of a memory that I formed on a certain Christmas day. I was suppose to celebrate Christmas with both my dad and mom on the same day, and I was late getting to my dad's on Christmas day. When I finally did get dropped off at my dad's, rather than just being glad I was there to celebrate, he confronted my mom and stepdad out on the lawn and engaged in an argument. Me and my step brother sat inside while listening to them yell. When they finally finished fighting, we were just expected to resume with Christmas like the fight had never happened. The happy and good feeling of that day was shattered like ...
