interested in the idea of self reflection 

# data[].attributes.body
ideas:
floating head vase 360 view
clear string to make head appear as if it is floating
more color in flowers to represent inner self- everything else limited color
idea of head being “fragile” just as humans are w their emotions
thinking about mirror around wall- as background
curtain to enclose the space
dirt on floor
planer box on ground filled w symbolic items

# data[].attributes.body
objects- initially inside planter box - seeds, crystals, planters & planting supplies, baby photos, self growth books, gnomes, painted rocks, dirty gloves
“the mind is a garden”
material for head: clay/ plaster ??
give viewer seeds food for thought
material for planter box: plywood, spray paint
objects= mix of real and fake - 3d print
color pallets: neutrals w pops of bold color

# data[].attributes.body
trying to decide how I want the sculptures to look- rough sketches

# data[].attributes.body
trying to decide how I can add more elements in!!
Idea of shovels as extra shelving- this would be if the mirror idea did not work out- which it did not- the resources were not available at the university and they were too expensive - thought inspirational quote on wall could help tie theme and ideas together to tell a story

# data[].attributes.body
decided I wanted a vase with texture rather than a flat surface- this vase would have its own texture separate from the face- my face would be on the front of the vase - looking out and in - aspect of self reflection

# data[].attributes.body
rethinking what objects are important to keep & include and which ones take away meaning from the project
kept objects that signified part of my story
decided on black wall w quote
picture of boba instead of a picture of me younger/ crystals to represent my mother- shows acestorial pattern

# data[].attributes.body
I went to the DLM and got a 3d scan done of my face- than I went to fab lab and fuised it to my vase. making a head sculpture!!

# data[].attributes.body
side angle of head vase

# data[].attributes.body
pieces edited & fuised together - one object

# data[].attributes.body
my head vase was than 3d printed so we had a mini model of the sculpture

# data[].attributes.body
a couple hundred pieces later & I am ready to start putting the head vase together!!
I ended up using glue to put the pieces together. than I sealed it with water sealeant and modge podge and filled the inside w foam

# data[].attributes.body
old photo of her - got burned onto wood
faded look to remember it is the memorial of one passing

# data[].attributes.body
mini accessories- shoes, heels, purse, etc
symbolize harder days when you feel as though you are dressing a doll
combination of store bought accessories and ones I made…
ones I made did not all turn out- used clay & stfofoan to shape/ than 3d print- than bronze cast- I never got any either than bronze casting I think the rusting looks gives more to the meaning

# data[].attributes.body
when I was younger I wanted to be a fashion designer- started getting more into sewing within the past year- reconnecting to my inner child - I have an addiction to thrifting - brought in some of my own personal pieces to display

# data[].attributes.body
the mini dress is an old dress of mine from when I was younger and danced- I have also started dancing again within the past year- again connecting back to my childhood- upcycled it for this project - again shows passion for that

# data[].attributes.body
my mom is a bio energy healer- she is represented through the crystals and sage

# data[].attributes.body
if I told you a flower bloomed in a dark room would you trust it ?

shows that something went though difficulty and still emerged- trust the process

# data[].attributes.body
the wall where my work will be installed- this is it before any work had been done to it

# data[].attributes.body
went ahead and painted the walls black

# data[].attributes.body
some of the smaller pieces started coming together
shovels as accessory to wall- silver shelf’s for items - each shelf represent a mini story that connects to the sculpture as a whole- 4 shelf’s all the same size
silver trimming on edges of shelves- one of the shelves ending up falling off- in the future it would be best to take more time to ensure the shelf does not move

# data[].attributes.body
wanted it to be a 360 & spin - clear sting to make it look invisible & floating in mid air

# data[].attributes.body
the quote stencil did not work- the paint seeped through- had to figure out last minute how to incorporate quote- tried many ways like writing on walls and floors all did not look good

# data[].attributes.body
box planter w quote & moss
thrifted shoes & purse

- one of the shelves ended up falling before I presented and it broke the purse and made one of the shoes fall over- kept it this way while presenting - actually liked it better this way

# data[].attributes.body
sprayed w metallic silver spray paint- about 6 or so coats
filled too w colorful flowers- one of the only objects with color in the whole project
key on head as an promise to one selves through the unquestionable

# data[].attributes.body
my dress from when I did dance when I was younger- upcycled and displayed as object of childlike qualities being reborn within a women’s early 20s
- placed over where quote was originally supposed to be- do not like texture behind area

# data[].attributes.body
shelf w grandma & butterfly that was hers - plays into the idea of metamorphosis & growth- shows my love for butterfly’s- used to have milkweed farm

# data[].attributes.headline
mother repressed through objects rather than photo 

# data[].attributes.subject
mother repressed through objects rather than photo 

# data[].attributes.body
crystals known to have big effect on energy and same w sage- think it has more power than an photo would to bring her into the space

# data[].attributes.body
no dirt on ground- decided it was not in my budget

# data[].attributes.body
class noticed idea of growth & objects had meaning- recognized the idea of flowers being planted but that it was work that has to be done- connection back to inner child noticed

# data[].attributes.body
classmates found the space between the wall & floor to be off putting and distracting

# data[].attributes.body
questioned my use of color- asked if I had through about exploring another color other than black as my background

# data[].attributes.body
rather than many sun stories - consider focusing on just on specific one and further exploring that

# data[].attributes.body
thought the quote should be done w different material such as cutout or sticker

# data[].attributes.body
a story was told- if was trusted and a flower did bloom in a dark room

# data[].attributes.body
the floor is where things grow up from- not much in the middle to signify that the things that get you from point a to point b are often overlooked by everyone by you

# data[].attributes.body
I knew from the beginning how I wanted my color plate to be- I stuck to my intution and am pleased w how it came out

# data[].attributes.body
I do think there was a lot going on- I think in the future I can narrow my focus making it even more personal for the audience

# data[].attributes.body
I had a lot of issues with this quote. I believe it would be nice to start this further in advance.. if my insitalltoon is going to be a big part of it I need more time to set up

# data[].attributes.body
I will continue to experiment w different materials/ discover what works and what does not. This dithers my creativity proceeds by allowing myself to try all things. some materials will work and others will not…
For instance I need to secure shelves, take more time scanning & Pay closer attention to fine details

# data[].attributes.body
because this project was called shelf shelves I made it a self reflection project.. therefore, it needed to be very personal… many of the ideas came from myself as I am the own source of my story… the way in which I wanted to bring objects into the scene was all part of my thought process

# data[].attributes.body
Two fried eggs and a kabob (1992) - I appreciate use of atypical items to represnt body parts- shoes objects can symbolize things other than what they are at the surface level- food as a vagina

# data[].attributes.body
Nud series in 2009- loved the idea of bodies being represented through shapes rather than something distinct - makes the audience question

# data[].attributes.body
Focus on ballerinas & what it meant to be one
empathized darkness associated w it

# data[].attributes.body
Little dancer of fourteen years (1881) - upcycled / idea of how the dress was - like the idea of exploring clothing in this way to explain the tone of a story

# data[].attributes.body
Appreciated how she discussed she likes making duplicates of objects but does not expect them to come out all the same or perfect- this is how I felt while bronze casting & 3d printing- make me appreciate each individual piece more
