Taylor Fraser

Fraser installation was huge and ran the whole length of the gallery. I consecrated on the end parts that were on the end of the installation. It was this big piece of ply wood at leased 4 ft by 4ft. I was painted back and had old piece of smaller woo and metal attached in a circle on top of it. It looked as if something big had once been mounted on it but now had decayed away. It looked as if it once was in a factory but since it was not being used anymore was painted over and forgotten about. I am not sure what it is suppose to mean. Maybe my classmates have the answer.

Cal Lane-The Pug and the Proposition

These works had a dirty humor to them with a little pug staring at all these legs us wondering what he is going to do to them. The Pug has so many legs to choose from. Using the plasma cutter to draw or carve out the shape in the old rusted metal gave a very organic feeling to a man made thing. I reminded me of old grates over heater vent in old Victorian houses with the patterns going around the end of the oil can and the shape of the pug and legs in the middle. This work turned out to be a fun spin on a old found object.

Amanda Hughen-Abundant of Consequence

In her statement she said that she used abstracted forms biology, geology, and astronomy and physics to make the shapes in her work. Each one of the works could be viewed as critical mass, cell growth, explosion, and or land scape depending on how you view it. The work of hers that I looked at was called Abundant Consequence. In it, I saw mountains or layers of ice sitting on a metal structure made of to my eyes looked like huge safety pins. The metal pins seemed to be getting crushed by all the weight on top of it. The blue color of the forms are what made them seem like glaciers. The greenish intersecting elongated ovols shape made them look like safety pins. And the tan egg shapes looked like clouds.

Science and Art

The work that I did last spring semester in Drawing 3 was my Universe series. I must have make 30 or 40 drawing it that series. Some were of the just variations of the same subject matter and I would used different pictures or mediums. My favorite mediums to work with were oil pastels and water color. However, I also used, chalk, colored pencil, paint, charcoal, and salt for texture. During my painting 3 class during the Fall of 08, I used material form my life experiences growing up on a Dairy Farm. I used the interior and exterior of the buildings and close ups of farm equipment. I believe there is a science to farming so I want to used subject matter that has to do with the farm. I could be the mechanical workings of the equipment or the how a cows body makes grass into milk. Even how a farmer chooses what field to plant a certain kind of crop, how he or she rotates the crops. This will be a good project for me to work on since I am already an official on the matter of farming and I can used other farmers that I know as sources.
