Balsa Wood Sculpture
The intention behind the first sculpture was to emphasize pattern and symmetry. As far as the execution of said concepts, there's room for much improvement. The second is meant to emphasize the presence of a focal point with several rings around a central mass. I am more satisfied, but because of the materials, it was not as good as it could've been. The third was to be an emphasis on texture. The inside is an egg shaped piece of wood on each side surrounded by soft cushioning in the form of paper shredded and sanded wood. This I view as the most successful of the three.

Memento
Due to unfortunate , unforeseen circumstances, the final product was destroyed before the opportunity to photograph was present. The product was an open cube made of foam with hexagons in the sides to represent the molecular structure of snow, all white and roughened to have the texture of snow. The center was to be paper mache for the texture of fluffy snow and painted blood red. The sculpture represents he first snowy winter I remember experiencing and it being the time I learned I have terrible seasonal allergies and get terrible nosebleeds come winter.
Map relief
The map is created utilizing the stacking method with foam shaped and ink. It is designed to represent the biblical sea serpent Leviathan, hence the name Leviathan Islands. The backstory I created for the inspiration behind this project can be fond in the 3D to 2D post.
Masking tape shoe
Probably the most frustrating art project I've ever done. The way I got the shape of the different parts of the Converse All-star shoes used as the models. Opposite to my expectation, the first shoe in the pair came out more completed and stable than the second.
