assignment 4: material dualism

 

for my material dualism project i used ice and skateboard trucks. for the first one i froze in the trucks so the wheels would still be useable and for the second one i froze the trucks completely. i used the same mold for both so the shape would be the same but the pieces function differently. the one with the exposed trucks is completely useless for movement because the ice is too thin to stand on but on the thick ice block you could actually ride on because it slides as the ice melts under the block.

Assignment 3: framework/structure (part 2- skin)

 this is my structure project. i made a pvc skeleton and then wrapped it in chicken wire, after i put cardboard on the inside and started to paper mache the entire thing inside and out. after i finished paper mache i painted it a bunch of different colors and then painted over it in black so the colors would pop through a little bit. i hate how it turned out but i love it also. its a giant failure in my opinion but it is my failure and thats why its cool. i learned a lot from making this and i'm glad i made it because at least i learned stuff from it. i still haven't put in all the music equipment and i haven't fully been able to cover all the light leaks but i want to keep working on it and i think i'll fully finish it as a piece once i use it in a performance.
