Reflection Statement
These three sculptures were inspired by stained glass windows and I wanted them to communicate the feeling of something dark yet whimsical. I wanted each one to represent either a component of stained glass windows or their relationship to each other.
While the materials I wanted to focus one making the sculptures unique but I knew I wanted them o be part of a series so i tried to use the materials to make them look cohesive. I also wanted to try manipulating the materials into organic shapes for the most part.
I decided to include a wide variety of materials in order to give each piece its own texture and feeling as well as to push my boundaries as I don’t work 3D that often.
This piece allowed me to explore creating sculptures from my own ideas as well as let me pay around with materials I am not very familiar with. It helped me to see things from all angles and not just the “front” of an abject like I would in a drawing or other 2D mediums.

A Few of My Favorite Things
2) A can of peach crush, Because it’s my favorite drink (possibly of all time) and its not one you see in every store which reminds me that sometimes the best things can be the ones that are often forgotten.
3) One of my sketch books, because art is such a big part of my life and a book full of my art encapsulates me much more than words ever could.
4) A flower claw clip, this encapsulates my love of nature and the unique beauty of the outdoors.
5) One of my favorite books, because reading is such a big part of my life and I would recommend this book all day.
6) My headphones, because some days it feels like I wouldn’t get anything done without music and its where a lot of my inspiration comes from.

No Regrets. Subtraction.
