Advanced 3D Show: Continuation of Summer Work

After working with the idea of movement over the summer, I really wanted to make more pieces that focused less on the human figure and more on the idea of human interaction. I created these two pieces at  the beginning of the quarter and I plan on making another larger piece that hangs. The matte black glaze turned out exactly how I wanted, (WHICH NEVER HAPPENS) and I really enjoy how this idea is evolving. I liked playing with the placement of the two pieces together where they look interlocked, but actually are not even touching.

840 Advanced 3D Show: Collaboration

So the 3D department has started to come together and the advanced ceramic and sculpture students are now doing critiques together. I think it has gone very well so far and I enjoy learning about the different processes and techniques everyone uses. As a result of this coming together of mediums, a sculpture student approached me about doing a collaborative project. The wonderfully made metal ribcage was made by Ivo Vretenarov. (Check out his blog at http://ivovretenarov.blogspot.com/ ) I then made a reaction piece using white clay to compliment his interpretation of the organic aspects of the material in relation to the human body. 

Slip Trailing Porcelain

I also got to show this second piece at the Brazee St. location. I explored the technique over the summer with my mentor, Julia Feld, and decided to create a larger piece. The wall piece was nice because it let me play with light and shadow and the pieces were extremely thin and easy to hang. I am hoping to keep this idea going and get more intricate with the design. I'm thinking more layers...

Old Piece, New Space

So I got to show the "Chandelier" outside of the studio at the Brazee St. Show. I think the space might have made it a stronger piece overall.

Brazee Street Studios Show

Fall quarter was crazy off the bat, but work is being produced and a thesis is starting to form (starting). I was lucky enough to be in a show that was curated by one of my instructors in the ceramics department at UC, Katie Parker. It was an amazing space and had a really awesome group of artists that were affiliated with the UC Ceramics department. Check out any of these artists on the flyer. The studio space you can explore at, http://www.brazeestreetstudios.com/ , or go visit in person. The show is up until November 4th for any of you around the area. :)
