"Mechanics" Puzzle Box



This was made over the summer. The box is constructed from Davey board, and plexiglas. The interior is glass marbles, and rub down transfers on paper. It's an interesting juxtaposition of our working parts, and industrial working parts. Mostly parts from a door, and skeletal bones and organs. My intention was to align the concepts of open door policies and the complexity of the human condition.

Earry Canal Tunnel Book

I finished summer semester three weeks ago and have a bunch to post about. I FINALLY got a better camera and love using it. Therefore, I don't expect my updates to be so sporadic as previously. I am by no means about to start calling myself a photographer, but having a nice camera is exciting.

This previous semester I took Book Arts and Digital Imaging. Visually, I am more proud of what I made in Book Arts. This is my tunnel book "Earry Canal" with hand drawn and collage elements. As you look into the book there are stamped hands with pointed fingers, cut paper ear wax, and eventually a hand drawn drum with sticks. This is probably my favorite piece I made in the class.
