Project 4 Research and Sketches
-a novelty items designer most known for their plush toys
-i like their interactive items that you would use, plush toys are meant to be held and cuddled
-they combine animate and inanimate and innocent vs distressing (note to jay + viewers of research- read the item descriptions!)
Arman
-works with “assemblage art” where many readymade objects are used as the medium
-i like the quality of accumulation
-has a “hoarder” aesthetic I’m interested in
Andy Goldsworthy
-very interesting use of negative space in sculpture
-the natural colors of his sculptures are appealing, i’d like to capture that
-the surfaces vary between being smooth and bumpy, i like that contrast

Project 3 Research/inspirations
fish in soap
- a charming craft that i think would scale up well to be an interesting 3d art project
- the image of the lone fish is very isolating, something that could be interesting to portray
- just has a lot of visual interest with the bright color of the fish against the clear soap and plastic bag surrounding it
Louise Bourgeois’s Spider
- spiders snare and entrap creatures in their webs, and their legs are somewhat cagelike
- the spindly, precarious form is very interesting to me. they are dangerous, but fragile
- i wonder about the potential of a spider with its own web entangling its legs, trapped by its own nature
coffins
- a bit morbid, but hear me out.
- coffins are beautiful and simple forms with a lot of potential symbolism
- the open in a very interesting way that could be used for visual interest
- the potential for performance is high. things can be on, around, or inside a coffin. things can be put in or escape from a coffin.
