Woven Animal - more pictures

London Tube Silver Stickpin - Summer 2012

After traveling abroad to the United Kingdom, visiting London and various cities in Scotland for the month of June, I developed this piece based of the repetition of the London Subway system. The organization of the tube's map astounded me, especially in comparison to the subways found in Philadelphia and New York. I wanted to create a sense of that repetition with a chaotic unordered form, shown with the white wool that I got in a small town in Northern Scotland. It's display is a laser etching of the London Tube Map. 

Havadalah Container - Spring 2012

Woven Animal - Fall 2011

This was an assignment for 3D in Fall 2011. We had to weave an animal or natural form using wet reed. I started  off weaving the horns and then loosely composed the rest of the head. I see it as a mix between a goat and bull or just some type of horned animal. These photos were taken just after I finished it at the studio.

Jewelry assignment - Early Spring 2012

For this assignment we had to complete a type of container. I chose to do a multimedia purse. The top part and chain is bronze and the purse part is made of felt, cardboard, and an urban outfitters bag which is made of cotton.

Ceilings of Prague - Summer 2009

I used these photos in my portfolio for getting into art school. One of the most enlightening trips I have taken. Hope I can get back there one day.

Form to the Body - Jewelry Assignment 2 - Fall 2011

This was taken just after soldering the pieces together, so it has changed a little since it was taken being that it is shorter now on the bottom right chain as well as cleaner looking in general.

For my design I wanted to create a piece that would incorporate the back. Going off of the idea that one would be able to put  this piece of jewelry on like a backpack, I then proceeded to develop and refine my idea.

3D 2011 Fall project

For this project we had to choose an object from memory using felt as our material.
Immediately I thought of my favorite children's book Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins. In one scene Hershel is about the light the Hanukkah candles when a repulsive goblin walks in. Hershel tells him that before he destroys the candles he should help himself to a pickle. Little does the goblin know that it was all a trick and he ends up getting his hand stuck in the pickle jar. I wanted to create that so I made a rendition of the goblin hand using the thick felt given and hand sewing the whole thing. It is an interactive piece, where the hand fits on like an over sized glove.
