The “A” Swing part 3

This swing is a work in progress.  This swing only has one motor.

The “A” swing part 2

This swing is in progress.  It has two motors and a different motion sensor than version 1.  The seat is a new weaving, however it is too large for these motor mounts.

New Work

“Picking up the Pieces”, intaglio, lithography, thread.

Hundreds of small pieces of prints 2″x3″ were sewn together and hung from top of a wall.

New Work

 

“This place needs some COMFORT”, fuzzy fabric made into pillows.

Pillows line the floor of an art exhibit in an academic setting.  Academia tends to be cold and traditional.  My installation attempts to bring some warmth and comfort to the exhibition.  I lined the pillows on the floor and creeping up columns as if to give the exhibition a hug.

The ‘A’ Swing

The ‘A’ Swing is based on my son’s love of swinging.     Swinging helps soothe his anxiety and sensory disorder due to autism.  When he swings it is very erratic and omnidirectional.  The ‘A’ Swing is intended to cause uneasiness yet be mesmerizing for the viewer, mimicking the feelings felt by my son as he swings.

Gallery Walk

This exhibition is part of the Undergraduate Research Experience Program of FHSU.

TIME comes to a close.

MELT was installed at the beginning of August. In three months the dust covered mounds blend in with the New Mexico landscape. The dirt is embedded in the sand and the soap is encrusted with leaves and bugs.
