Acrylic? Extra Credit? Yes?

Acrylic. Yes, I too am perplexed with my choice to make a few projects out of acrylic. From the natural interactions between wood and living breathing platforms, I have now included synthetic resin into the mix?

Maybe there is still a connection, maybe not. Maybe it is an ironic paradox? Clearly.

Anyhow, I will still attempt to make it contemporary and unconventional.

On a side note, I went to a really cool store in portland, and they had some art forms which I was able to appreciate, and draw some inspiration from. With all of this inspiration, I am going to attempt to complete my portfolio by April 7th.

I realize that this is where the photo is supposed to go, but my photos are not on the computer, so I will upload them at a later date, and use some inspiration photos (one as a breadth for an acrylic light fixture) as a placeholder. :D

The year is quickly coming to an end, and deadlines are coming up soon so I need to get working on my next projects for the portfolio.


One Idea I had, was to create a speaker/planter combination. I was thinking of using wood, but I found a designer that used metal and what appears to be some sort  of ceramic/concrete. We will see what I end up doing...

Clay Update

So, if you saw last weeks blog of mine, I decided to give clay a chance. Well, I gave clay a chance, and my first concentration-made-out-of-clay-piece came out of the bisque kiln yesterday. Today I finished three more pieces so I'm curious to see how it all turns out once i've gone through the glaze + add plants stage to create the contemporary planters. Yeah, so I guess we are also heading into AP time which means I need to get all of my pieces presentable and photographed!!


And back to my non-clay pieces this is my next inspiration: acrylic and stainless steel, two materials I have never worked with but it will be a good experiment.
