This was my first ever installation project. It was made completely out of paper and masking tape and installed in the student teaching gallery at the CU Denver Auraria Arts Building. The installation was documented in the gallery alongside the other works of the class, as well as outside in a field. The last slide is a proposal drawing submitted to professor Rian Kerrane, including a visual of the installation, how it would be constructed, where it would be placed in the gallery, and why. Below is the text included on the right hand side of the proposal describing rationale. |

Walking on Eggshells was not the first foray into woodworking, but it was the most intensive. The giant chicken head was constructed of dozens of rectangular wooden pyramids that were made by laminating various wooden planks together and then cutting and sanding them into their final shapes.
This installation was on view in the CU Denver Arts Building teaching gallery as well as 2021's annual CU Denver sculpture club's show at Pirate Contemporary Art Gallery, Inclusitivity. There are no surviving parts of the chicken or the eggs. |
The Hanging by a Thread installation piece was the first work I had done in a metalsmithing/welding environment. The table is held together by the tension within the wires rather than actual legs or freestanding elements. This slideshow includes completed documentation in the gallery setting as well as photos of the creation process and the proposal drawing submitted to professor Rian Kerrane for approval.
