3D Breadth

My 3D portfolio requires a breadth and a concentration which were created from a variety of different mediums, techniques, styles and concepts. I believe that the breadth should show my range of ability as well as my creative complexities. 

3D Concentration

My concentration focuses on the shared, archetypal experiences we value as a part of our current selves and our hold on our childhood. No matter the culture, gender or economic status, we are all unified by developmental turning points brought on by our brain growth and environmental influences. To allow the audience to recall their memories, I used people on each piece for a performance. Each experience we have matures us into adults and allows us to understand punishment, wonder, and death.

As children, we are exposed to many concepts that create our personality as an adult. Piece (1) represents our curiosity we have about nature, which is seen through the stone and glass. As people pour water over the model boats, it spiritually reminds us of our curiosity for life. The second work (2) demonstrates how we learn about consequences by taking what is not ours. When we eat the cookie from the jar, we learn how punishments and rewards change as we age. The third sculpture (3) illustrates the story of a stork bringing children to the parents as opposed to the truth about sex and birth. While it is suspended from our body, we symbolically carry the fallacies as a part of our final personality. Similarly, piece (4) has each building block act as a marionette to symbolize how we need whimsy and passion in education to retain and advance our understanding of the world. Number (5) reflects the loss of innocence seen through the concept of death. The incense is burned and knocked over to simulate the destruction and fear that death introduces into our personality. Artwork (6) focuses on the anxiety and confusion associated with separation articulated through the separation of a person and their special toy they share their life with.
