Gregors room

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.

Paze your path

https://www.behance.net/kyleecromwell2 Above is a link to my Behance to see some of my work! Artist Statement: Paze Your Path is made from foam, plaster, and marble. This piece is an interpretation of my life in an abstract form. Each shape was cut out to resemble a puzzle piece. Each piece is attached in a way a puzzle would be not glued or held by something else. Because even during the hardest times in life you are the only one who can hold yourself up. The marbles are placed in a way of being on your journey of life. The gabs and marbles that are not clustered together represent being lost or alone until you find your way back on your path. I wanted it to be able to hold flowers like a vase because we as human beings hold such a special place on earth.

Surface pattern ideas

  Surface pattern research  The general idea of a surface pattern design if creating artwork that is not in repeat. I wanted to take the illustrstion route and also incorporate photography. Which is a little different from other surface pattern ideas.  This is some of the things I found about surface patterns during my research  When it comes to designing for products that don’t often repeat, like art on journals or mugs, you may be considered an Illustrator.  An illustration  usually explains or tells some sort of story, so when the art’s main function is to make something pretty, it’s really more in the Surface Pattern Design realm. Surface Design (without the pattern part) can be a good catch-all for how to describe designing for mass-manufactured products that are both patterned and engineered designs
