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.

Adriatic Queen

Insulation foam board, balsa wood, gesso, yarn.

12 in. x 22 in. x 4 in.

I spent three weeks in Croatia. A majority of the trip was spent on a yacht named the Jadranska kraljica, or Adriatic Queen. The features of the yacht were predominately white and natural wood. Croatia is known for its fishing industry and fresh seafood, so I felt the fishnet knots were appropriate and fit the piece.

Planning the layout.

Before I painted the foam with gesso, I carved out areas to inset chosen wood pieces.

Folded Landscape

Printer Paper, Masking Tape, Super Glue

16" x 10" x 2.5"

This piece is inspired by the landscape in my home state of Vermont. I began my design in Adobe Illustrator. I then printed and folded the paper to create three-dimensional forms. The monochromatic blue color palette is reflective of the cold, Vermont winters.

Note:

This piece was highly successful. However, the images do not reflect the success due to poor lighting.

Climbing Rocks

Wood, air dry clay, acrylic paint.

12 x 7 inches

This piece is inspired by an island I remember fondly from my childhood, and that I still visit today. The island is located in the middle of a river full of rapids. The landscape is made up of cypress knees and rocks piled high. I remember the feeling of adventure when jumping from rock to rock and navigating the cypress knees.

Let Me Out of the Kitchen

Foam core, paper, glue, white spray paint, and black ink.

2.5' x 1' x 8"

This spacial blueprint was created to represent one of my work spaces as a chef. I work in a small kitchen for at least eight hour intervals. I am constantly making, plating, and running food. The circle represents the hectic environment. I carved shapes that represented appliances the kitchen: a dish washing station, a hot and a cold table, a flat top grill, and a press grill. The hand reaching out of the enclosed space represents me in the kitchen space.Though I like my job very much, there have been times when I felt like I was trapped in a cycle of making food. I used paper to wrap the vine like forms around the arm and on the appliances so I could further illustrate the feeling of restraint.

Vermont House

Wood, paint, wood glue; 8" x 3.5" x 12.5"

My spatial blueprint is inspired by a trip to my friend's Vermont vacation home. The house itself is situated on a tall hill followed by a long, curving driveway, all surrounded by thick woods. The landscape is idyllic and I decided to highlight its natural properties with wood.

I highlighted the elevation of the driveway by painting a shadow underneath the raised piece of wood that signified the long drive to the house. The house is three stories, hence the three wood blocks on top of one another. Since we visited Vermont in the winter, I included white paint splatters along the "treeline": the black/green block of paint around the focal point.
