SKETCHES:

Historic Architecture

Sculpture #1

Saint Augustin Home

Whiteboard, hard stock paper, wood glue, tape,

orange ink, hot glue.

Detail:

first inspiration: Henry Flagler Memorial Presbyterian Church

Visually exquisite, the Flagler Memorial Presbyterian Church was built by Henry Flagler in 1889. It is one of his most significant projects, because it was constructed as a memorial to Flagler’s only daughter, Jenny. The mausoleum adjacent to the church is where Flagler, his daughter, granddaughter and first wife are buried.

Sculpture #2

Warlocks Whebelo

whiteboard, faux moss, heavy cardstock paper, gold paint, wood glue, tape

Dinner And A Movie

 Delicate Delicious Deed

Inspired by the movie Marie Antoinette

    This piece is about fragile femininity of another time period. It represents commencement of marriage and child. It represents virginity, or rather the taking of virginity. It represents the stress of concieving a child. It represents the requirement of a child to make a marriage "just", especially in the royal families of the world. Lastly, this tablescape represents overconsumption and the constant need for more. 

    I decided to make the tablescape for one person rather than multiple people to communicate the loneliness that the character experienced. I also wanted to communicate that the character had given birth or had sex, seeing as the cake is red. The red and white cake also represents the Austrian flag. Lastly, the overabundance of sweets, cigarettes, and drinks represents the overconsumption for unneccessary substances throughout the movie.
