Alison+Lee+Spring+2013

 Hi! My name is Alison, I am a Studio Art major at the University of Mary Washington. Welcome to my exploration of sculpture!    Project 2: Presence vs Absence Research:

-I enjoy the hanging aspect of this installation. (interesting use of space)    Megan Geckler - I like how she incorporates the entire space. Very eye-catching and visually interesting!    Megan Geckler - Interesting concept dealing with interior vs exterior spaces. "A space within a space" is created inside the installation.   Plaster Pieces

Plaster Project: Presence vs Absence Installations Plaster gauze shoes attached by magnets; hanging underneath the staircase. Attached by strings to plaster objects on the floor. Close-up of plaster gauze shoes suspended underneath staircase. Close-up of attached plaster objects on the floor. Video Analysis: After watching many videos pertaining to the Kinetics project, I particularly enjoyed the 'Drawingmachine' by Eske Rex video. While a fairly simple design and principle behind the sculpture, I still very much enjoyed how this piece not only was a work of art in itself, but it also created works of art! The video was even improved by being able to see some of the previous trials of the drawings hanging on the walls in the background. I never would have thought to use magnets as a method of moving an object before, but this piece of art really fascinated me and may have possibly given me several new ideas for our class project!
