Sculpture

These two photos were taken during a 5-day class on sculpting the head, working from the inside out. I was unable to attend the last day (to finish the piece), but was quite pleased with my first efforts at sculpting.

Forest Fungus

I built these two giant 8' mushrooms with the help of an art grant I received from Playa del Fuego, a regional Burning Man event in Delaware. Matrials included plywood, wood, pvc, fabric, el-wire and various types of fasteners. The whole project took less than a month (the time I was given), and the actual cutting / painting / building phase only a week and a half.

The sculptures were interactive in two ways: a) they included benches which many people used while eating, socializing or watching activities going on nearby and b) I wrote "What are you growing in your life?" on the stems and left markers, which people used to write on the fabric scraps stuffed in holes on the stems.
