Sculpture Poop

Mandy — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 05:50:22 +0000

As you may know Ive been busy. And well, my sculpture is due tomorrow.. I figured I would be up all night, but at the last minute I changed my idea. I am just doing an assemblage type sculpture with all the music junk I have. I like it.

And ya, I worked all day long.

OH YA! I got to kick some emo kids outa the store today! LOL I was workin at the big and tall store, and the lights went out. And I had a couple of customers who where still inside. Well outside, a gaggle of emo kids were dropped off outside. Like 5 busses of high school kids were lined up infront of my store. And my section got the emo kids who decided to practive their hardcore dancing. Ya. My customers were trying to leave but were litterally scared of getting hit cuz these kids were thrashing around. So I slung open the door and hit one (giggle!) and told them all to get the hell outa the front of my store! Then they tried to come INSIDE the store.. so i kicked them out and locked the door. It was amazing!

Critique

So I was up working on my sculpture, oh… til about 5am.. What I did was put hose on the wire frame and painted it with many coats of starch. This made it very stiff, which would be good, but I needed more of a contour shape, sooo… I decided to use plaster. Well the water in the plaster dissolved my starch.. so I decided I would use paper mache. This worked well but wasnt drying quick enough, so.. in a stroke of brilliance (sarcasm) I figured if I put a layer of plaster over it, it would dry and soak up the water. WRONG.. wrong wrong. It NEVER dried.

So I did my Plan B (or Z) and just covered it in an old copy of “The Female Orgasm” (a scientific look at it) At 5am I just gave up. I went back at 8am and it was still VERY wet… I had to use woodglue to keep the pages from falling off. After the pages were wet and had turned colors abit, i really started to like it.

It came time for class and I had to move that heavy bitch. It sucked, but all worked out in the end! My critique went well and I loved how she looked displayed. I cant wait to actually finish her. I think she would look amazing in a gallery.

I really like it. The inside looks like fire, which helps the concept. I want to go back over her and make it a bit more smooth, also add some thicker wire. In critique someone brought up the idea of sound, which I think would be interesting to add pr0n background noise or music.

In other news, a butterfly landed on my hand today.

Mandy — Fri, 23 May 2008 18:47:37 +0000

okay, so I have been more than busy this week.. Im working on a very ambitious piece called Constructive Deconstruction. I havnt had my camera with me but here is it almost finished.. I worked from 7pm last night until 7am this morning… wow.. im pooped. I had class at 8am til 1pm and Im just about to head to bed FINALLY. My feet are dying. The piece is due next tuesday, and I cannot wait to show it!

it needs a few tweeks and a new paint job..

See those little doors at the top, they are hinged and the inside has hypodermic needles attatched. The dark black you see are baggies of black paint, which will unleash when struck with the ball and cover it black. Also all of it is ment to corupt, and while you play it, you will be destroying it.

Ya, so the ball kept getting hung when I tried, I cant wait to see the finished peice all destroyed like! lol.
