FOUND ART Dystopian Waves

Dystopian Waves was a project done during class while exploring the many aspects associated with the style of Found Art. All pieces in the sculpture were pieces of material found on different parts of Samford’s Campus. I wanted the piece to look rugged and beat up, almost as if it were some found artifact blown off of something during a fierce battle.

13

Made with corrugated cardboard-like material, wood, hot glue, spray paint.

CARVING SPACE FROM A BOX (SPECIAL OBJECT: ATO PIN) (right & middle picture )

The objective of this project was to create a space, cut from a 12 x 12 cube that would house an object significant to a special time or memory. We needed to use the things we were learning about space progression and incorporate them in the project in some way. My inspiration came Egyptian temple motifs.

PAVILION PROJECT (left picture)

This pavilion was created to represent the architectural principal of Hierarchy, that i tried to represent through the use of vertical columns that increase in size and angle from the front of the pavilion toward the back, i also tried to incorporate that concept in the platforms used as steps on the inside as they vary slightly in size and color The original concept of the pavilion was based off of the body’s biological process of clotting blood. The mesh-like material on the top of the pavilion is meant to portray fibrin, a microfillament the body produces to help stop bleeding when we receive a small cut or laceration.

FORT LAUDY DAUDY POSTER (left picture)

The poster was created to portray the spirit of my graphic on the right. By pulling in the overall concept of the bubble-like atmosphere of my hometown but i also wanted to portray the vibrancy and culture of the city as well.

THE BUBBLE (right picture)

Graphic representing the how both Samford and my hometown of Fort Lauderdale have become synonymous in the fact that one slowly becoming more and more like home to me, and in the fact that both have a bubble-like and enclosed atmosphere.
