Manipulations

My ideas for manipulation come from the basic forms that were manipulated in the making of every day structures. Once they are broken down they give off even more of a post modern aesthetic. In these images I took an photo of this famous Dutch built building in China, and began to break it down. I came to isolate a form that I was particulary interested in and began to replicate/distort. From here I hope to achieve something new out of something old.

Gum Series - Alt Photo


This image was created by three black-gum layers. The initial image was drawn in illustrator amd can be seen in a previous post.

The second and third images were also drawn in illustrator as well, I should not forget to mention that all of these images were made with ink-jet negatives, bridging the gap between physical and digital.

Sculpture sketches


The image on the right is the form that I have decided to built. The aim for this piece is to achieve a relationship between 2-D and 3-D...somewhat of an optical illusion.

New ROBOT



This robot was originally a replica of a super nintendo but I decided to make it into a robot, no reason really. I plan on painting it super nintendo colors using acrylic, that will come in some time. This robot has a basic joint in it's "elbows" that consists of a nail pushed from the top of the arm through the bottom.
