  Kylee Cromwell  "Over Fishing" Air-dry clay, wood, paint, ink, fabric.  Left sculpture 3" x 6" x 2". Right sculpture 4" x 6" x 3".  The title on the left titled "The Fish" shows a human bust with a fish head, I chose to attach the fish head to a human bust to show that humans are affecting the fish population. The figure on the right titled "Corporate" is a male figure dressed as a businessman to show that we are overfishing for the money it makes.

  Kylee Cromwell Gregor's Room "A visual response to the short story  The Metamorphosis  by Franz Kafka."    White Copy Paper, Ink (No Adhesives)  Largest sculpture measures 8" x 6" x 3" "The sculpture collection reflects my perception of the short story  The Metamorphosis  by Franz Kafka." From reading this story and focusing on Gregor's room, during this project I wanted to make his room look sad a depressing. I chose subtle colors and added a pop of color to make it feel sad but also make it stand out from other things in the room. I decided to make the bed frame and headboard into the shape of a cloud because from the story it seemed like he had a lot of issues so I wanted to make it feel like his head was always in the clouds. I made him a cigarette to show that his personality is kind of like what people do with a cig they throw it on the ground and stomp on it.

Kylee Cromwell Slobs! Movie Inspiration: The Florida Project (2017) This image explores the ideas of what it looks like when a child has no rules or disciplines for their actions. Kids think they can do whatever they want unless they are told not to, if no one tells them what they are doing is wrong they will just keep doing it. This photo shows what it's like to grow up in poverty, not all kids are growing up with homecooked meals gathered around the kitchen table with their family members. There are some kids who are digging through the fridge trying to find something to eat while their parents are working two jobs so they can provide their kids with a homecooked meal. I wanted to show what dinner would look like for a kid when there is no parental supervision or the parents just don't care about what the kid is doing. I wanted to make it look messy because kids love to make a mess when they are eating.
