Project Proposal

Artists of inspiration are Bruce Conner, Nan Goldin, Yayoi Kusama, Nina Bovasso, and Anila Quayyum. I want to get comfortable with my sculptural skills during this project and I want to create a project that successfully embodies my work in a 3-D form. The purpose of this project is to develop a system in which making sculptural art becomes emotional therapy for myself. The topic of my project is about my mental/emotional wellbeing and the struggle for balance between reality and what goes on in my mind. The project is not only going to represent this struggle, but it is going to, hopefully, be a solution to this personal problem. I want to work on my woodcutting skills, my ability to portray emotion through sculpture, and new techniques when working with string (weaving, knots, etc.) Aesthetically, this project will be consistent with the rest of my portfolio: heavy use of pattern, circular shapes, simple color schemes, and an emphasis on string/connecting materials. In terms of communication, I do not want the audience to know the whole entirety of what the piece means to me since my topic is personal.
