Sex Me Up

Welcome to the wonderful world of how inappropriate I can make things with three words.  Essentially, people like to think, that I have an interesting/ horrible sense of human-ness.  I don't get approved by many, so fuck em.  That is what this is about.

7 Seconds Before Sunrise

This is probably the most different thing, of everything that I have done, to show up in a concentrated theme of works.  The title definately has a lot to do with the relevance of the piece.  The scorpion strikes without warning, and is considered a treacherous beast, to me treachory hides, and where better than at night.  The reason that there is a "human" head on the body of a scorpio-type figure, is to show that there is someone in my life who resembles the characteristics and qualities.  This person i sunnnnasldkjflk;jasdflkjjjfjjckkjda dkcve agj adtha adjt hhat hashyta . 
I have a concentrated theme of work which revolves around the same media, ink and watercolor, and the idea of "re-creating," if you will, people in my life to how I see fit.  This particular person is someone to say something they don't necessarily mean, but it still comes out of their mouth, out of spite.  Just showing how people are quick to say things, but that will not last forever, hence the 7 Seconds Before Sunrise.  They will stop soon enough.

Family Portrait: Would You Like Chips with That?

Most people wouldn't recognize this as a family portrait, but to me, it is the epitome.  The woman figure is my mother, she is the largest and most noticable, because the is the largest and most notable influence in my life.  The shady, ghostly dasrk figure in the background is my father, symbolizing that he is there in my life, he just isn't the greatest noticable thing.  The ferret is none other than myself.  I decided to make myself a small animal, because it is showing the idea that my mother wants to keep me close to her bosom, as long as she can.  The strange bat looking creatures floating around are my other siblings, that don't really play an important role in my life, as family.  The blood coming out of the mouths sybolizes the hunger we each want for more, the hunger is not clear, but the suffering and want are definately there.  The darkness of the background definately sets the mood in this painting, unhappy.  That is the mood I was trying to set when I created this piece.  I hope it gives people a lot of mixed emotions.

Trance Music Makes the Children Dance

The relevance of this piece to my personality is actually very much.  I was asked by a fellow peer why I am balls crazy.  I didn't reply, I simply thought about it for a very long time, and in that long time, I thought, why does a stripper expose herself?  Money?  Or is it some sort of nasty fetish that is a gaping hole that needs to be filled.  So thus came the stripper.  I do not believe that selling your body for monetary gain is at all wrong, nor am I demeaning it, I was simply asking myself a question.

In the literal making of this piece, I used India Ink and Watercolor on Watercolor Paper.  The foreground is a light to dark wash of black, as a dance floor/ bar-top looking spectacle.  The title is not at all irrelavent, but that is something to ponder yourself.

Anita Dick

The purpose of this sculpture is to show a large ball of nonsense is formed, but is falling apart.  It is being held together by staples, the staples art not working, to show that temporary fixes don't work.  It was a very hard piece for me to wrap my head around when I was making it, but now that I am looking at it, I do see the meaning in it.  Many people think it is a cocoon, which is very true in a way, because as the caterpillar is entering the cocoon, the cocoon unravels, revealing something beautiful.  It is a piece up to interpretation.  I do plan on setting it a-blaze, to show it is just paper, and it will wither away anyways.

WTF

I titled this WTF because that was how I felt when I made it, and looking back on it now, that is how I feel when I look at it.  It is interesting to look at, but I feel that the use of styrofoam makes it look like a science project.  I do like to look at it.  I'm thinking about re-creating this piece using pieces of canvas and a different color scheme.  I'd also like to do it on a larger scale.  The symbolism in the piece is how crazy and random life is, and I like it that way.  So, if you don't feel that way, don't look.  Thoughts?

Crack Pot

So, this is a pot that I threw over the summer, and after I glazed it, it looked very nice, so I threw it on the ground.  There is a beauty in this, because I spent my time on this, but it is just dirt.  I do think that the breaking of the pot is the art in itself.  I can apprieciate the beauty of how things don't last forever.  Tell me what you think.
