Dinner and a Movie Sketches

 The Giver 




Perks of Being a Wallflower 





Historic Architecture

 


Temple Court, Paper, Wood Glue, H: 18" W: 11.5" L: 11"





Lighter Museum 
Formerly the hotel Alcazar 
Founded in 1948 



Villa Zorayda
Built in 1888 by Franklin W. Smith

As I started brainstorming, the main details that spoke to me were the towers on the Lightner Museum, along with the flat look of the Villa Zorayda. I expanded on those ideas with off setting some towers along with the offset courtyard. 



Igloo Cabin, Paper, Wood Glue, H: 13" W: 8" D: 12" 






Memorial Church 
- Constructed in 1889 
- Built by Henry Morrison who was an American Industrialist 



Baptist Church 
- Henry Flagler gifted the land for this church to be built 
- The church was constructed in 1895 


I enjoyed challenging myself by choosing to include very simple details from each building into my structure. I was inspired with the geometric tower for the main part of my home and used the shape of the windows and doors to construct the tunnel.

The three sculptors visually communicate that one does not need an impressive material to create something spectacular. 

While exploring the materials to build the sculptures, I wanted to focus on changing the perception of the materials because, not everyone is the same, so why should we all perceive things the same way. I decided to use a simple and delicate material such as paper and use it in a brutalist style. I felt the work was lacking, or missing something, so I added more onto it changing the ways of connections and flow. 

I want to keep exploring even more ways are can transform materials by using them unexpectedly. The making of this work exposed me to new ideas such as not connecting all parts of my sculptures.
