Documenting My Name (Updated 11/18/13)

These could all be applied to other categories of "quick challenges", but at the time it was easier to make them their own challenge so that I would have something to focus on. A theme in previous quick challenges was that I would make my name out of objects, and so I challenged myself to really see how many things I could make my name out of, or what kind of places I could make it in. (For example, the last four were all at work.)

Headphones/Tape on Floor

Tape on Wall

Shoes

500 White Pills

Cucumbers

Green Peppers

Tape (At Work)

Tape (With Ink)

Drawing in Space

Drawing in Space was a challenge where for the most part I thought with lines. The wire helped create nice lines in space which I combined with more "3-D" objects. The first three challenges were quite similar, which I didn't do on purpose, so it's interesting how they all have similar qualities.

(Height, width, and depth are present by being on an actual canvas and the thick texture of the paint creates more. All three are present. Explanation provided because this seems less obvious through a photograph.)

Tools Untensils

The chopsticks in the cereal was my literal solution to utensils because I personally eat everything with chopsticks. For this challenge I got pretty into the "rolls of alternative silverware". You can look closely at each one and interpret them however you'd like. (They're meant to be unrolled and analyzed.)

Transparent

This challenge ended up being very "experimental". It was one of the most explorative challenges. Even though there was a difference between pieces, they all had the common theme of being contained.

Project Seven: Wood

I had a variety of solutions for this challenge, but almost all of the materials that I used were "favorites" for me. I used the tape transfers (that I love to do), flowers, paint brushes (painting is one of my favorite mediums), and watercolor. Most of these pieces are "pretty". I'm not quite sure why I associate wood with my favorite things and "prettiness".
