in the studio, four forty one

this is my final. it doesn't look so great from this perspective but i feel kind of awkward walking around taking pictures with my computer when there are other people working in the studio as well. the pieces are all hovering an inch or two above the table plane, except the tea pot itself. it's tilted, as if it were pouring tea into the cup.

i need to think of why i did this / how i incorporated what we learned / used this term in this class. i think i'm going to talk about tea being something i've known my whole life, and the trellis representing drinking tea in a garden at dusk. the pieces are broken and put back together, reflecting my family being pieces of a larger whole. we are complete together, yet at the same time there are pieces missing. and it incorporates what we've been going over this term, in terms of negative and positive space, and particular the relationship with the ground plane. i think for showing it tomorrow i'm not going to have a table underneath it but sit in front of it, as if it were set for me. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

that is a lot of m's.

my ears hurt from these earbuds. i have art history discussion in 20 minutes.

oh and that big stupid black thing is a classmates project, a tree made of tires. except the brances are PVC pipes and they look kind of ugly. the clever part is the tireswing made out of wood.
