  Hush Statement Movie: A Quiet Place  In this sculpture of found objects, I wanted to create an eerie feeling. I created this uncomfortably by placing baby doll hands in green slime and the head in a broken cup The balloon is to stand for something on edge or on the verge of bursting and ruining something. By making the fork dirty I added a sense of scavenging and living off nature. I used batteries to symbolize the power being taken away from someone or something that now has no control. All of this was placed on a hardwood background to push the idea of handmade and having to fend for yourself and build your own items.

  In Process Final Photos Details Statement In this sculpture, I used only paper and water to build and ink for pigment. The blanket was made by weaving individual strands of paper together, and as the water dried, it acted as a glue to keep it together.  This sculpture is representative of key items in a short story. I wanted to portray a feeling of sadness with dramatized emotions. Using muted colors, I created an area that is not fun or exciting. I made the bed frame significantly out of proportion with Gregor and his dresser to add a feeling of dread and fear that come with depression. I felt this story could be used as a metaphor for depression and mental illness as it describes the main character as feeling like a bug. He is scared to get out of bed as it feels extraordinarily far which I took as his dread and inability to get out of bed.
