First Year - Spring Semester

I'm back at it!...with a considerably more managable schedule this time around. My studio professor this semester in Jenny Sabin and I'm really excited to see what the next couple of months have in store for me. We started out with a quick trip to New York city to check out the Anish Kapoor exhibit Memory at the Guggenheim, a really cool robot made brick sculpture near Chinatown and William Kentridge and James Turrell at PS1. This is an intial conceptualization of some obeservations I made hanging around the Anish Kapoor exhibit. I'm investigating the use and transformation of vectors and their effects as a moire and on boundaries. This is what I have so far.

Visual Studies Animation

I can cross Adobe AfterEffects off my list of programs to learn! The program is actually a lot of fun to work with. It allows for a great deal of flexibility, as long as you have your primary footage or renderings. The idea of this assignment was to chronicle the understanding and process of reappropriation that our objects (my helmet, look below) underwent.
Here's what I did. Enjoy!

Revisiting the Module

We're finally developing the form and programmatic spaces within our project, with just two weeks till the final critique. I'm going to allow my triangulated octahedron module to inform the form and structure of the spaces I create. That being said, it's going to be hard to re-appropriate it within the context of the new project, but I'm working on it. The octahedron is a really versatile, flexible and deceivingly simple shape to work with.

Studio - Final Project

So for the first phase of my final studio project of semester 1, I studied people interactions, dynamics and situations and represented them as notations. The idea being that a field of these notations can begin to reveal something about the site (Avery Fished Hall, Lincoln Centre NYC). It's a very abstract first step and we're only just getting into tectonics. Here's what I came up with...

Visual Studies 1

I got better at Rhino and Grasshopper

Animation Storyboard

This is a preliminary story board for an animation I'm making for Visual Studies. The idea for the movie is : line, layer, surface. The movie will hopefully take you through the aggregation of lines into curves into layered curves and finally into a surface.
