the sunny life in LA

for my crit I showed this series of tests, I found it hard to work with such still objects like this. I have a desire to put ribbons( stars, bangs, flashing SHIT) on everything. I'm still working with these objects, and trying to figure out how to display objects. try to make the work sparkle without that extra flash.

This is a precession:

,

there were four of us.

so we brought our sweating hands over to a sunny room in sculpture, as we walked in we stepped on crumbling ceramics.

above is a room of the entire room., the dress( the piece on the glass) was placed on the rocky brick towers.

this is a dress from the pictures of the church. the dress is on astroturf. kind of melting, kind of leaning. LA DEATH.

This was WILD piece. (but no one liked it) there was a pulley system that pulled pulled the "pants" up and then sweater and then pulled them together. as they clashed and bounced ash fell out of them.

the things that i found the most interesting was the residue. the ash and crackle.

Baby melts at church

these are some pictures i took of the dress knocking on God's front door.

At first I was interested in these objects bringing attention to positive space. But they are more interesting as self-contained environments then separate spaces. could they make you feel like you are on the inside of these spaces?

here are some more picutres that draw attention to what is missing:

the below picture looks like some sort of gesture or drawing. from a distance the objects look like some sort of language.

maybe a little bit of picnic love is going on.

SO there is a lot

I thought i put these up a while ago. but this was an ( accidental) performance I did; which in some ways turned out better then anything else I have been working on. the images transit or create a new space or even a lost space in a way that the castings I made don't.
