Untitled, 2009. Fish tank on fan with cheesecloth, Sharpie paint pen, dried paint pieces and goose feather. Fan is supported by cheescloth covered 4"x 1" wooden blocks. Sticky tac is used as an adhesive between the sides of the tank and the cheese cloth.
For this piece, I was drawn to the concept of transience, and inspired by the film American Beauty and the quote "...Don't lose hope, no condition is permanent..."

Final Project



Barbara Monaco
Untitled (place your own broken heart puns here), 2009. Acrylic on mirror, glued to poster board and plastic frame (12"x15")
The concept was Fracture (the act of breaking, or state of being broken)

Process: I tore the mirror out of the frame, painted a human heart on it, smashed it with a hammer, and glued the pieces to the frame backing and reattached the plastic painted frame.

Final Project: Max Farrell

Title: Fragile World



Concept: Fracture
Size: 13" x 11" x 10"
Material: a globe, broken liquor bottles, phone chargers, cardstock poster board
Process: I took the globe from its original base and punched five holes in what would be the capital cities of U.S.A, U.K, France, Russia and China. I then went on to beat it and smash the globe against the ground. I then took three empty liquor bottles and broke the glass into fine pieces, then placing the glass on the cardstock. Once the globe was broken, I placed the charger tips inside the globe and plugged them into a power surge, which is plugged into the wall.

final project

Entropy

Ink Tendencies. Book, epoxy, acrylic, glue, pen, India ink, printer paper (50"x45"x4").

I cut through the cover of an old book, hollowed out a depression using a woodcutting tool, and sealed the depression with epoxy. I then poured the "ink," created by adding India ink to Elmer's glue, into the center of the depression and let it drip out and dry.
