4/29/09 - Recent Concentration Work

Below are the first two finished (?) pieces from a new collection of work I've been doing about value (monetary and intrinsic) and action. It isn't terribly focused yet, but I've been making good progress. The following are acrylic and air-dry clay on wood and gesso board.

Objects from top to bottom: Sparkplug, Red Beetle, Souvenir Spoon, Monogram "R" Charm, Small Bird Skull, Blue Weevill Type Beetle, Gold Button.



Objects from top to bottom: 1955 Packard Emblem, Oil Palm Fruit, Pearl Drop Earrings.

My next pieces will be on much larger coated masonite, 4 by 2 feet to be precise; an interesting challenge for the current visual themes.

Art Department Portfolio

My portfolio for the art department at Western Washington University. I really have no idea what they're looking for, and I guess it's of no real concern. My main goal in doing this is to secure myself some classes for next year.
