tea space

27Nov07

here are some images from a space that I built up in google sketchup for one of my art history classes. It is meant as a space to have a tea ceremony. somewhat inspired by james turrell and terunobu fujimori.

this was just a peice that I saw on a blog that I read, but it has the elements of generosity and the viewers removing part of the work if they want to. While it says something on its own, the audience can remove parts of it and interact on a one to one level. […]

koban photos

01Nov07

I can’t remember what it was exactly, but during my first semester my freshman year I took an intro to photography course and the teacher showed me these photos about a couple who documented all these windmills across the country. I didn’t realize it until now, but that had a pretty decent effect on the […]

so I took the lights home and played around with what I had, only this time out in the environmental goodness that is southern Maryland. I just wanted to take them away from the similar modern/unnatural that the photos seemed to concentrate on before, so I took the lights and put them in some places […]

After watching the Art:21 video of James Turrel in thesis class the other day, his work reminded me of this one house that I read about while I was in Japan, although I couldn’t remember anything about it except where I read about it, so after a good while of looking I found it again, […]

So for the longest time I think I’ve had this self induced barrier in not only my work, but how I am when it comes to learning things and becoming skilled in a specific thing. This can be anything from a video game, to language, and sports, activities, just about anything. It usually happens when […]

these are more images that I took using the neon lights and the ideas that I had. I would like to take the lights out into the public / nature and take more photos. I think they’d be a bit more descriptive and accurate to what sort of aesthetic I enjoy.

testing my idea

07Oct07

so, forcing myself to do some work on this project before its way too late, I did some experimenting with the neon lights and placing them in  an environment  and seeing how the light changes the look.  Well, it didn’t go as well as I wanted it to, I see to have these big ideas […]

This is the famous chair that I was talking about in class, that I couldn’t find. Well I was eventually able to find it, I was just looking in the wrong place. It is a piece that is part of a collection of furniture with neon lighting accents on them. Created by Lee Brom for […]
