Gregor's Room White copy paper, ink (no adhesives used) Largest sculpture measures approx. 8" x 6" x 1" A visual response to the short story The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. An unsettling shade of green washes the blanket that sits atop a dark and spotty mattress. Prison-like bars function as the headboard to this bed. An askew pillow rests at the top of the bed. A small side table, perfect to lean on when confused and wobbly on multiple legs. A shady and dim atmosphere is where Gregor resides day in and out. He might lay nestled amongst the blankets or coiled up in anxiety, though either the bed becomes his sun, revolving around it as the hours tick by, his return to it inevitable.
Balance Various rocks, stones, other objects and materials. Inspired by the movie Star Wars: A New Hope Statement: Using visual geometry this piece achieves equilibrium with circular and square forms. The tan background reminds the viewer of sand, which is associated not only with the main character Luke's home planet but also with themes of time. There is a small statue of Confuscious at the top center to add religious reverence. The composition is clean and pure, with a white rose accenting the purity of life before tragedy. The most color is found in the blue of the plate, alluding to a positive outlook or good intentions. The stones in the top left are reddish and trickle into the circular motion of the setting, as if an ill force is trying to weasle its way into the purity of the composition.
