Hanah Tremblay: Three Dimensional Materials/Concepts

Gratitude (left) Materials: air-dry clay, acrylic paint, wood, fake moss, mini clear quartz and amethyst, wood stain, hot glue  Dimensions of sculpture and base: 6.5in" x 6in" x 6.5in" Greed (right) Materials: air-dry clay, acrylic paint, wood, wire Dimensions of sculpture and base: 3.5in" x 15in" x 3in"  Artist Statement: Both of these figurative sculptures work together to create a three-dimensional idea of gratitude and greed in today's world. The sculpture on the left represents the side of gratitude and the idea that less is more. The sculpture is someone sprouting up from the ground with a rose as a head to show that they are connected to the Earth, as all humans are. The base was made circular to contribute to the organic style of the piece. It is coated with wood stain to make it resemble dirt without actually putting dirt on the base. Another smaller circle is placed underneath the base to give a floating effect to the whole piece. It is accen...

Molding Framework Materials: white copy paper, colored ink Dimensions of largest piece: 9in" x 2in" x 6in" Artist Statement: This piece was inspired by The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. It is specifically a representation of Gregor's room in the story based on the adjectives used to describe the space as well as the feelings it gave off. Colors and shapes were used to represent these feelings. The colors and shape of the mattress are representational of moldy food, something that a bug would love and be stuck on for awhile. If Gregor was in this piece, I would have made him a little cockroach indulged in the moldy mattress. The bed frame is inked with a mix of yellow and brown to give off an old and dirty wood look. The rug is an item that was mentioned in the story. I imagined it as something that soaked up some of Gregor's sadness when he woke up every morning and stood on it, so I inked it with several shades of blue. The spiky headboard is made to represent h...

Dimensions off each shoe: 11in" x 4in" x 3.5in" 

  Zephyr Fulfillment Movie Inspiration: Lords of Dogtown (2005) Artist Statement: This piece was inspired by the movie Lords of Dogtown . Each item within the setting represents important factors of the movie that give off particular feelings. The movie took place in Santa Monica during the 70's, a prime surf and skate era. The surf wax is used as a representative of California and the surf scene the characters were indulged in as they grew up. The Vans shoe and shoelace represent the skate scene of California during this time. As the waves became flat and a drought caused all the pools in town to be drained, the Z-boys began skating in the empty pools around Santa Monica to keep busy. This was one of the first sparks of skating that made it so well-known today, so the shoe and shoelace are a very important representative part of this piece. The Jimi Hendrix vinyl and psychedelic background are representative of the time period the movie took place in, the 70's. Hendrix is well...
