100+1--Made of two parts---the material and the stitch. The material is 100 or more of a common object. The stitch is one material that holds the 100 together. The properties of the material are exploited and used to their limit to create a single piece.
Body Mantle--A continuation of the 100+1 project. 100 or more common objects are again held together by a thread. But, the piece is worn. The piece works and moves with the body.
Line Block--The first exploration of construction in a space. The line block is made up of lines within a 12� cube and explores creating space and form through the simple act of placing lines.
Plane Block--The plane block explores volume and form through flat planes. Through the use of apertures in the planes, space and volume is created and exploited.
Balance Block--A study of line, plane, and Volume that stands on one leg. Related vocabulary was studied in 6� cube models, then applied to a the final balance block in iterations. The final 12� cube touches 3 square inches of the ground.
Plaster Block--A 6” cube “snapshot” of the balance block was extracted. After small adjustments, a mold was made out of the snapshot and used to make the plaster block.
Armature--The plaster block is held by a 9”x9”x18” construction. The armature isn’t a continuation of the plaster block, it is a “celebration” of the plaster block. An emphasis is put on representation through collage.
