First Year of Grad School: complete

This is the installation shot from my final critique of the year, which took place in my studio. I showed two major wall pieces and a grouping of small sculptures.

This piece was the first that I made after my mid-term critique. In considering the feedback I received from that crit, I decided to work from activities that I do at home instead of depicting them through imagery. I began by concentrating on verbs that I do in my apartment (sorting, stacking, washing, cutting, folding, etc. etc.) For this piece I used the verb stacking as my launching point and used that motion to build the piece. This painting is approx. 5x5ft.

A grouping of smaller sculptures from the final critique. The stack of objects I am hoping to work on much more so it becomes really large.
Another small sculpture. Acrylic on paper mache on carpet square. Still not sure about this one yet....
A small sculpture I made for my final critique of the year. It is about 3ft tall.
