Memento





This project was about recreating a souvenir for a memory out of only three materials. I used a piece of wood and painted a strip of black-blue paint. Out of that wood, I carved out forms that are similar to the shape of the mountains in monument valley, which is part of the memory my project is linked to. The memory I built this project on is connected to the road trip I took last summer with my boyfriend. We were driving from Utah's Arches National park to the Grand Canyon. On our way there we were driving through Monument Valley. Although we were very late, so we couldn't really see anything of the valley anymore. All we could see were the black and dark blue shapes of the mountains, or whatever we were able to catch without camera that night. It was a remarkable experience that I will never forget, which is why I chose to base my Memento project on this memory. This project is about 1.5 x 3 x 1.5 inches in size.

Three Balsa Wood Statues

These three Balsa wood sculptures were based on the effort to create something non-representational. I enjoyed coming up with the concept for these, which were largely based on geometric forms and different textures combining to three small sculptures. I am very interested in exploring textures in combination with architectural concepts, such as geometric forms. This is why I chose to use many different materials, like masking tape and clear tape, wood and wood chips, wood glue, paper and pins. The cube formed sculpture is about the size of 8x8x8 inches, the Tower is about 3 inches x 9 inches, and the pyramide shaped sculpture is about 5x5x3 inches.

Hair

Hair protects the skin most sensitive to touch. Hair is also used for personal expression of oneself. You can wear it long or short, curly or straight, naturally or styled, blonde or brunette or any other color we can register. I used to wear my hair quite long. It felt heavy and uncomfortable. A couple months ago I chopped my hair off. What you see in the picture is the hair that now no longer feels like a burden.

3D to 2D

I decided to make an album cover using my Memento project as inspiration. I named the album monumental, because that is the impression I had of the environment in Monument valley. I used Adobe Illustrator to create the Illustration of the object, and set in on a solid colored background on top of a geometric form (circle). This give the cover a more graphic feature. I chose the deep red, because it also reminded me of the dirt of the desert, which is home to Monument Valley.
