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.
