A Button Before
Vintage Buttons, Wood, Varnish
13" x 24" x 2.5"

Artist Statement:  

I respond to the nostalgia associated with this object, the button. The antique buttons are from the past, still on the cardboard to be sold, they never made it to the dressmakers. I think of people touching these small objects to fasten their clothes and mothers buttoning up a child's jacket. Formally, I am attracted to the individual design of buttons. The colors, textures and motifs. I find these particular buttons alluring due to the pearl like quality.

The student work below was made for a relief sculpture assignment. 

The Experimental Sculpture Collection is not a relief sculpture assignment. For this assignment, students are asked to make free-standing, three dimensional forms. 

The materials the student used below are masking tape, gel medium, trace paper and string. Good examples for the Experimental Sculpture Assignment. 

Details of Skin
Masking Tape, Tracing Paper, Gel Medium,
Embroidery Floss, Foam Board
The two large pieces measure 22" x 14" x 3"

                                        Spatial Blueprint of the USSR

17" x 12" x 0.5" 

Balsa Wood, Thread, Ink. 

Kazakhstan is a country in Central Asia that used to be part of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. After the collapse of Soviet Union, Kazakhstan declared itself fully independent public on December 16, 1991.

I used the yurt to represent country of Kazakhstan, then I used the elements of the Kazakhstan Flag such as flying eagle under the sun and painted on the top of the yurt that creates a focal point of the blueprint. The size of the yurt and specific place represent the Kazakhstan republic compared to Russian Federation which I painted as the Russian Flag. The blue balsa strips represent the rivers that cross the border of Kazakhstan/Russia. The same is true for the railroad form.
