3rd Seed Sowed 

The Sun rises beside the concrete river that our rectangular submarines push through. 

This is the promise of a new day. 

A recurring event. 

Day in and day out we look to the Sun to guide us. We center our entire lives around it. 

If the Sun never rose again we would, eventually, cease to exist. 

One day the Sun will set only to never rise again. 

That is the End. 

A Lasting Impression 

Impressions serve as the opening line to how others begin to define who we are to them and to the world. When you make a first impression or any Impression for that matter it leaves a little bit of information behind as to who you are. They do not solely define you, but they steer the direction that others will define you. 

Clay is no different. 

An Impression mold is the same as any other impression. It defines the form in which the material cast into it will take on. 

Glass and People are the same in this sense. 

So, think before you make an Impression.

Life Sized Drawings.

Drawings from a place of questions that reach a place without answers.  

                                  Home. What is Home? Home is. I Is. Am Is? Is am I. I Home. At Home. Two side. Which side? Yes, Side. Who's? Two’s. 

3rd Step 

Because of the group critique, constant thought, and minimal time, our groups challenged the meaning of our initial iteration. The lack of clarity of the audience interpretation was the first fault that we corrected. Our meaning seemed to still be muddled within the installation. When the instruction to reduce the scale by 2/3rd was given, our group discussed and focused on a clear and precise meaning. Even though the conversation was fruitful and everybody contributed, the warm presences of our less active group members was lost and their absences mourned.

1st Step 

Our installation represents a variety of themes concerning college life and the pleasure-seeking aspects that come with entering into the adult world. It could be the growth of a person who has high expectation academically versus the reality of a grotesque lifestyle. The effort to create an installation that was defined by the viewer seem to fail due to the lack of clarity.
