Street Modification



This is a piece I did last semester. I simply drilled a circuit breaker to a tree. I placed an LED light string in the box that gave the illusion that there was some sort of function. I replaced the lights after they burnt out once and then after that quickly lost interest. The box (shown above in the winter) lasted quite some time without lights. Just the other day I had noticed it was removed. In retaliation I took apart a typewriter and screwed a piece of it where the box had once been. This new modification stands out even more so I am curious as to how long it will last.

Simple Machine





Steel, Concrete, Plastic, Springs, Chain, Heater, Bikes, Toaster Oven, Fan Motor, Debris

This piece was originally based of one of my favorite grindcore songs so I entitled it:
Innocent Bystanders Watched in Horror as Peter Jennings Drew his Murder Weapon.

Shoes




This was my 3-D Final second semester last year. The assignment was to make a shoe. I took apart my Nike All Courts, made patterns, and saved the soles. I used a second hand shop leather coat and a Burberry scarf for the exterior of the shoe. The interior is acrylic fur. I spray painted the soles gold, added some gold eyelets, reassembled the shoe and that was that. I've worn them once or twice but now they are shelved.
