MASK
Typology: Assignment
Date: Fall 2018
Materials: Acrylic
Software Used: Rhino, AutoCad, Vray
I always try to push a design element in generally non-architectural classes. In my creative writing class, I was given a variety of opportunities to use my architectural instruments. This assignment was to merge two of your most inspirational people and create an object that is inspired by these two humans. Björk and Alexander McQueen are easily the most influential artists in my life. With this merging of music, fashion, and technology, I decided to create a mask for Björk who often DJs in New York City wearing crazy disguises. In the past, Björk has actually held tribute parties to Alexander McQueen. This mask was a challenge to make. Molding the face in Rhino was a new challenge for me, but assembling the mask went smoothly.
TEE SHIRT
Typology: Assignment
Date: Spring 2018
Materials: Fabric, Paint
Along with my creation, I had to produce a booklet of poems. Sadly, after re-reading the poems, I disliked the poems I wrote. With the poetry, we were suppose to create an object that parallels with the poetry we created. The teacher was pushing for drawings, collages, and other types of mediums. I saw this as another opportunity to further my sewing ability. I laser cut pieces of card stock with the poems that I made to be used as tags for the shirt. The shirt has a high collar where I screen printed a line from one of the poems I created; the line says “I don’t think that I like you anymore.”
