Figurative Sculpture

 

Figure measures approx. 2.5" x 2" x 1"
Silenced
The recent proposed bill in the Florida Senate was colloquially named the "don't say gay" bill as it would ban all discussion and education of LGBT topics in elementary schools. Children have their voices taken away from them, unable to express what they are feeling for fear of being reported to unsupportive parents or bullied by ignorant peers. The base of the sculpture is in the shape of Florida, and the figure sits atop it in a void without handholds; no support. The child is upset for trying to discover who they are, only to be hushed, and sheds a singular tear. 







Figure measures approx. 3.5" x 3" x 1.25"
CEOs in Our Seas
Corporate America is made up of power hungry individuals who would rather see the oceans burn in oil spills than take a decline in business. In a turn of events, a business man has found himself choked around the neck with a plastic bottle, courtesy of the pollution his company is helping to promote. Any business not actively helping and looking out for the environment is hurting it. His face is drawn in particular fear and anguish as he suffocates around the plastic.

A Few of My Favorite Things

  1. My dad's old guitar . He recently got a newer one so I can finally take this one with me, and playing reminds me of him when I'm lonely.  2. Photos from the Yule Ball in Fall '21 . Featuring my good friends. I keep this next to me bed to keep the memories close.  3. A blue die . My middle school civics teacher gave us all a die for good luck on our exams. It was a pun on her name, Mrs. Disinger, and we would call her Mrs. Dice. This is always in my backpack now. 4. A fulfilled Daruma doll. I got this when I first came to college. It is used to set a goal and encourage one to reach it. My goal was to join the St. Augustine Orchestra, which I finally did last semester, so I was able to fill in the second eye. 5. My violin. This instrument is my baby. I've had this one for about four or five years, and I started learning violin almost nine years ago. Violin, and specifically orchestra, are a huge part of my life and identity.  6. My mom's flute. Only recently did ...

ART 21 Response - Ursula von Rydingsvard

  “Ona” (SHORT) | Art21 Ursula von Rydingsvard -reverent -inviting https://art21.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/von-rydingsvard-ona-still-154-1-1400x788.jpg Scale: The massive height of this piece gives it a grand feeling as it stands above those passing by. It seems out of place because of its size, which causes interest. Color: The bronze patina that coats the sculpture complements the building it is situated near and makes it seem more organic, even though it is completely metallic.  https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d24d5220744e200015f5674/1572754907719-N6XJMEJACDJC7C683J9Q/Ocean_Voices.jpg?format=2500w Texture: The surface is almost scale-like and very intricately carved.  Rhythm/Movement: The curves of the piece cause the eye to follow along its length in a rhythmic motion. For such a large piece, it seems to bend and flow as if it were a living creature.
