3D Cut paper installations

Another 3D project we had, our first actually, was to create imagery that we cut into long sheets of paper. We were to install these somewhere in the small chapel on campus. Mine was hung in a window. There is a really cool video of one student working on theirs from start to finish; Ariel's ended up looking amazing. HERE

3D Studio I

During Spring semester of 2012 I took 3D Studio I we were assigned the task of putting our installations in an outdoor environment. I discovered through this project that I am pretty adept with a jigsaw. Below are the animal silhouettes that I created for the project. My idea was an investigation into the domestication and natural camouflage of animals by mixing their patterns and the impression of targets. I made many of these by adhering fabric, tape, or beads directly onto the wood. The backs I painted a dark brown.

Backlog

I have a digital dumping ground of images from events and activities I meant to archive on my blog so I'm going to start uploading them one grouping at a time.

The first was hanging and installing for artist Nick Pena. He has really awesome work that deals with the foundations and security of the domestic. His visual vocabulary for his work is beautifully worked out and elegant yet simple enough to leave the audience room for interpretation. Here are some images of the show and our process of finishing the two large installations (disclaimer: photos taken with a phone). Please google him and check out his WEBSITE
