BFA Show: Placeless Events Are An Impossiblility, Everything That Happens Must Happen Somewhere

The pictures have arrived.... and where a bit of a disappointment; however, they are much better than the photos I posted earlier.

In The Spell of the Sensuous, Abram quotes anthropologist Keith Basso:

"Placeless events are an impossibility, everything that happens must happen somewhere."

Going Up: Elevator Installation

Strength,

contortion,

dissolution,

regeneration

are elements I associate with the body,

the body's relation to space.

Installation in the Elevator: I originally planned on installing this in the ceiling of the Art Building, then it occurred to me that elevators have light boxes in lue of ceilings.

This shinny square is actually silver and glass and words.

My BFA Show!

Installing over the weekend:

My BFA Senior Show!

I've learned photographing lightboxes can be rather tricky.

Thankfully, Flagler's Art Department hired a real photographer.

I'll post better pictures when I receive them from him.

First the "explanation":

Oh, and there was more outside...

You can see them through the door.

Project 4.
The Mission: To create a Book of Typographic Design incorporating three things that you love and a word that defines what Design means to you.
My Word: Eligere. The Latin root for Elegance. It means to pick or to choose.
Three things I love: Trees. Metalwork. H2O.
Here are a couple of pages:




I designed the type for Eligere and the drawings where a series done between last September and now. The pages were printed on various pages, watercolor, pastel, BFK ect.

Spring Blink in Savannah

Well, I've recovered from the flu and journeyed to the beautful city of Savannah. I'm here to assist my Aunt Jaime with a beautiful mural dedicated to the YWCA which has since been converted into condos.

Inspiration

The mural after I left to return to school. There was still a lot of work to do.

They finished it a week later!

Dennis Oppenheim talks about Public Art and a Flagler student trashes the palm tree graden

"Kasper Koeing once said that public art is a snowman..... Everybody likes a snowman, everybody can relate to to it, then it disappears back into nature."
