the jar project


content: jars 
process: create individual terrariums based off of the climates (tropical-desert) in the united states

in the inauthentic life we tend to dismiss our surroundings.
 by creating artificial atmospheric jars i hope to illuminate the issue of average everydayness. 
after a final assessment of this work i decided that the general theme was entrapment.
entrapped by: 
the home (my tiny apartment) 
work (ever scene office space?) 
society's expectations 




on a lighter note...

i just did it because i like jars, i think they're purty. C: 
also cacti are sweet. 








also here is an image from  the box project piece.  


the tree that is coming out of the top is called a money tree.

slow-mo

Could 
not
stop
laughing. 


Did 
mention 
this 
is
 pretty 
gross?

(p.s. snot can travel at up to 150 mph)



ikea catz


This is pretty brilliant.



It's not only a great marketing strategy but is just about the coolest thing one could think of to do in Ikea (without involving 100 tons of strawberry jello).

There work is pretty much spectacular.



There is so much yes in that.

Masks

first week in sculpture and i was told to create two masks. 
i wanted to do an instillation piece but my idea was shot down when we were told 
"to not get too crazy."

 damn.

but i still liked how they turned out:






personal and collective unconscious 







this one is titled
grave humor

eh. i am hoping that for the next assignment i can step out of my box a little bit (my box being made of paper and cheese cloth).
