All of these pieces were created during my last semester at Brown University in VISA 1410 - Sculpture: Material Investigations under the guidance of Daniel Stupar. Each investigation was driven by a prompt that encouraged the students to engage with material, form and the spectator in a new way.

Course description:
This studio course addresses basic sculptural methods, i.e., additive + subtractive modeling, casting, and assemblage, and common sculptural materials, i.e., wood, metal, plaster, and found objects. Demos + workshops on a number of sculptural tools and materials form the foundation for this studio. Students develop sculptural solutions to a given set of problems. Contemporary issues raised in critiques and readings. Extensive outside work is expected.

Artist Statement:

I find it liberating, cathartic and motivating to use myself and machines to create art instead of products. This class has allowed me to explore what it means to make something without a ‘function’. I have learned that my creative process goes through waves of passion and drought and the idea fluctuates constantly. I was able to explore different worlds of creation - silly, massive, intricate, architectural.
