    Enter The Fluxus Bass Wood, Balsa Wood, Paint, Wood Glue, Printer Paper 11" x 9.75" x 7" My Fluxus box is based around the movie Enter The Void. The film follows the life and death of a drug dealer living in Tokyo, Japan. Much of the film takes the perspective of the main character, whether it be through his eyes or from the view of his spirit. I wanted to have a second compartment within my box that resembles many of the shots from the film, often looking down into a room. I also wanted to incorporate the many graphic title cards from the film, which I have pasted over the walls of the inner compartment. Research Progress Photos

A Nest of Bone and Cloth Wood, Cow Tooth, Cloth, Superglue 3" x 3" x 3" This piece reflects the memory I have of my friend Olive's bedroom and the time we've spent in it. Her room could be described as a carefully calculated hurricane. Among the mess of random objects you may find crates of animal bones, worn blankets, unwashed clothing, empty glass bottles, dead foliage, letters to friends and loved ones, drawings, and the stray cigarette. Everything is everywhere yet it all feels like a carefully organized birds nest.  Research

Folded Landscape Printer Paper, Masking Tape, Super Glue 16" x 10" x 2.5" This piece is a representation of my old home back in Vermont. I wanted to take a more geometric and minimalist approach with this relief sculpture, emphasizing the contours of the land which is juxtaposed with more rigid forms to represent the forest. The decision to use a monochromatic blue color palette is reflective of the cold winters up north. At the time of starting this project I was also working with packaging design and paper folding. I really enjoyed the techniques used to turn 2D templates into 3D objects and wanted to incorporate them into this piece. All of the forms in the piece were designed in Adobe Illustrator, printed, and then folded according to the guidelines I had defined. Research   Progress Photos
