Project 3: “Coppered Forge”

Project 3: “Coppered Forge” Keeping in with the theme of change, getting the chance to mess with metal for an art piece was quite interesting. Partially because metal, stone and earth are often associated with being unchanging or unmoving. If something is “written in stone” it cannot change. However, as time goes on and as […]

Project 2: “Violent Growth”

Once again, I continued exploring the theme of “change” with this series of artworks. With this peace I sought to explore how change occurs through the violence of war and oppression / subjugation of people. While not as clear as I would have liked, the idea is that the bomb is like a seed and […]

Project 1: “Weathering Fabrication”

By their nature they change or don’t even exist but societies go out of their way to maintain them. For this course the syllabus recommended that the students pick a theme to tie each of this semester’s assignments together. The theme I picked was change. For the this project I wanted to explore the idea […]

1: An image etched onto a plate of copper. Although hard to make out, it is supposed to be a cauldron with the letters CU emblazoned on it along with the number 29. Within the cauldron is a spool of wires wound around something containing bubbling molten metal releasing smoke. From this pool something that resembles a cross between a tree and wires is sprouting out, at the end of which are various forms of electronics. Leaning on the cauldron is a pickaxe and at the bottom of the cauldron there is a crack from which molten metal resembling the shape of roots leaks into the ground, or metal ore being sucked into the cauldron from the ore in the stratified ground. On either side of the cauldron there are waves resembling depictions of signals radiating outward. In the background there are poles holding up power cables.

1: An image of a building with a skeleton from the torso up with cross arms in the reflection of its windows, or inside the building looking out through the windows depending on the perspective, emerging from an explosion that also mimics a cotton plant. The explosion itself has a stem leading to a bomb that is split open like a seed embedded in some sort of filled with bodies of human silhouettes that is spilling blood. The image is roughly colored with ink, while black ink forms lines. The building is blue, the explosion red, yellow and orange, while the bomb, and area surrounding it, is red. The blood leaking out of the area containing the bomb is also red.

1: Ink in a linocut carving depicting a modern building being constructed around an older Greek inspired building that itself has an old mountain jutting through it. The structures all sit on an island and are all being eroded by wind and water. Cranes and structures depict the modern building constantly being built up and repaired as it is eroded by time. The sky has the clouds of a storm and streaks meant to resemble stars quickly moving through a night sky, as if you are watching footage being sped up.

$1: A pencil drawing with inked lines of Zimone Wola from Magic the Gathering (a short Black woman with glasses, and curly hair tied into a ponytail, looking at a strange fractal creature orbiting a strange geometric shape as lightning shoots from the orb surrounding the two in every direction. Zimone’s expression is that of surprise with a geometric exclamation mark above her head.$
