Personal Project Research


Elizabeth Tolson 
About her work: 

My work explores the themes of fertility, motherhood, time, and space through ceramics, weaving, and sewing. It is informed by my personal narrative, the body, and the experiences it carries. These mediums share a common thread in which they are rooted in a deep history of human production and tradition. My weaving and sewing work emphasizes the intertwining of the body and the experiences it carries.

Camille Stenium
Consuming Meaning, 2014

In her sculptures, Steinum deals with material concerns from a feminist perspective. There is a clear distinction in her body of work between handmade patchworks and more mechanized pieces weaved on a loom, but in both cases, she uses the material to address questions of female labor. (Textiles are, of course, traditionally women’s work.) Even the metal frameworks—though they may appear to be readymade manufactured objects—are carefully designed by the artist and custom-made.

Paze your path

Image
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
