Left overs.

Most art classes end semester with finals of critiques and final showing of your work, along with everyone to bring something to eat and or some kind of snack.  Because I had many odd pieces that took a while to set up.  I had to lose a chunk of class time to set up while others had their critique (with instructors permission of course).  It was pointless for me to bring the cookies for the final 30 minutes of class.  I found those cookies while setting up and just displayed them as a joke just to have everyone questioned why I have an unopened package of cookies were there surround by similar pieces.  Not to mention it was next to the dr. Suess looking piece. Though if you request this piece, the cookies are not included, you must supply those yourself.

left overs
size of cookie package 12"x4"
cookies, silicone, pills, paraffin, pill container.

Finding of composition and collections

This was nearly beginning piece, also finding objects and putting together, along with playing with new materials such as acrylic gel and silicone. It came together like serving a plate.

finding of composition and collections
5"x3"x2"
plastic fork, wood, acrylic paint, silicone, pills, acrylic gel

Messing around

Another piece from the start of set, found objects and playing with them, along with enjoying to melt the container.  Thought dripping pills would be a challenge on my part and cool to accomplish.

messing around
6"x2"x3"
wood, acrylic paint, silicone, acrylic gel, pills, cork plug from wine bottle,  plastic container

Joy pills

Mostly found objects while in my classes, besides the pill bottles, which is something I enjoy doing.

I maybe have a sick sense of humor of something serious and something that looks like from dr. Seuss or candy land.

Joy pills
5"x 12"
pill bottles, chop sticks, wires, wood

Displaying the obvious

Experienting in sculpture class with new materials to me.  Parrafin and molding were a trial, and as I was experiementing and seeing what happens, I started throwing things inside of the mold.  Eventually throwing in the pills.  Little different shapes in clear paraffin with pills inside. I also made a billion little wax pieces out of the experiement and didn't know how to disply these.  Eventually limiting my palette and relating to this project helped a lot.  Though I dont know why I added the silicone corners just outside.

Displaying the obvious
12"x5"
Parrafin Wax, cardboards, plexi glass, silicone, pills

Your Plate

This piece was added the day of set up in room.  As you see, the main room in the first or second post, there was a screen in the middle that no one could roll up, and a ball hanging down. So I decided to add this to the floor beneath it.  Not sure why, just seemed to fit.  Though while showing, many people almost stepped on it or overlooked it.

very tiny 3"x3" circle
plaster and lose pills

brainstorming ideas

brainstorming in paintings
5 small 4"x6" paintings
Acrylic and Oil paintings on cardboard.

Experiments of painting at beginning of semester, unsure what I was planning on doing, but was in process of thinking of pills, emotions, and frustration.  Frustration of the current class and previous semester's.

managing prescriptions

managing bottles of prescription
24" x 8"x6"
cardboard, acrylic, wire, plastic pill bottles 

This was experiement, or more of enjoying burning plastic bottles and seeing how it turns out.  I had to find some use to these for art project.

looks and labels

This was a simple idea, pill bottle only thing left on it was a caution: morning label.  I don't know what that means, but shows these labels are a not comforting.  Choose either symptoms or side effects?

looks and labels
24" sting
string, tiny stick, pill container, silicone acrylic mix, and some kind of sharp metal thing

stability

This was also finding a use of straws, finding ability fits in them, and holds barely some balance and stability.  Also most expensive pill of $12 per pill.  Your tax dollars has paid for a prescription not used. Also rest of project, was enjoying finding ideas of building a wooden platform that I could enjoy the assembling of it, and I also learned how to use the tools.

experiment of stability
36"x24"x12"
Hard to see details,
wood, straws, ability, filament, epoxy acrylic mix, more pills

Client's Lifestyle

Messing with the straws some more, and messing with the silicone acrylic mix.  I decided it looked like it needed people hanging on dear life.

Client's lifestyle
painted part acrylic, silicone, straws, people (clay), and pills are 6"x9"
long string of 24", and plastic thing with acrylic silicone and more pills.
also cooler in person.

experiment

This was experiment with epoxy glue paint mix, and displaying upright.  One of my first 3D projects.

experiment of epoxy and gravity
little 15" x 15"
wood, epoxy glue, and random pills

Balance

This piece focus is about constant finding of balance (in anything).  This project took a lot more thought to it than the others.

Balance
Add 48"x24"x24"
wood, silicone, acrylic, pills, matt board, melted pill container, wire.
