Print, Fold, Draw, Soak:
One reason I don’t like to do commissions is I get selfish with my vision. Trying to fit muiltiple visions together can be frustrating. When it works it is beautiful, when it doesn’t it still can be beautiful. I had a lot of fun doing these drawings of an idea for a van stencil for a local remodeling company:
These are shots from a video installation proposal project for a class last semester. I really enjoyed the mixing of drawing, video, and sculpture. I built out of foam core a generic city skyline and projected two videos, the first a shot of one of Milwaukee’s three rivers, and the second right out of my front porch. Then I drew on the sculpture to solidify and excite different areas of the composition. You hear traffic, birds, cars, sirens and see people walking, playing basket ball, cars moving, and more. Hopefully I will at some point be able to build the real thing which I envision as being twenty feet wide and ten feet tall. The shadows created from the sculpture and projection are beautiful and I feel like it would be even more beautiful if people’s shadows were added from interacting with the piece.
