Reflection Statement

    

        When working on these three sculptures I found that they all felt very meditational and I feel that idea is communicated, I found that in an odd way they all felt very "human" to me. I have never really worked in 3D before so I wanted to experiment with a wide variety of different materials so that I might learn what I like best. As someone who likes to plan their work ahead and have a concept I really struggled at first, I wanted my pieces to be representational but that wasn't the goal of the assignment so I found myself getting frustrated. Once I started letting the material tell me what it wanted to do I was able to find a rhythm in my creating. This project taught me to be more loose with my work and to take things as they come. In my drawings I tend to be a perfectionist so even though this assignment was in 3D I hope I can take that as a lesson for all of my art in the future, to learn to let loose and be kinder to myself in my creative process.

Artist Statement

This image is intended to evoke feelings of suspense and themes of evil and witchcraft. The placement of the candles are meant to appear ritualistic and to be representational of community. The red fabric shows movement and the black fabric blends with the dramatic shadows to create a sense of the unknown and unease. The smoke lets the viewer know that someone has been here, and may still be lurking nearby. The red of the image is meant to both instill fear and represent passion.
