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.
