ahoy! from above or below

This is my last piece from undergrad sculpture with liz king. It's mostly wood, steel, pink foam, and hydrostone and the structure as a whole was quite a feat for me to accomplish in our small studio spaces. The larger structure which is akin to a lifeguard stand is embedded with a kidney bean pool shaped swath similar to either an iceberg, or poured cement, and renders the chair without function. The somewhat humorously short diving board, besides being converse in size, is functional as the artist is asked to bounce unremittingly making the anonymous cube wiggle and hop. Although I wish not to delve too deep, I find both of these an exercise in idle contemplation.

how can you be blue when you've got the greens

Here's a link to a book on one of my later projects at the end of school. This project was a process marinating in my basement for a month before being relived in the fab lobby. Much caretaking, conversating, watering, and growth occurred. You should check out the book, its cheap on lulu but also a free downloadable pdf. I might be posting pictures soon as well.

goodbye studios...

I have much much remorse in leaving vcu probably most of all because I no longer have their great facilities to exploit. In my deep sorrow I have stitched together this panorama shot of the studios from the viewpoint of my lifeguard stand, a piece of a sculpture I'm still working on. And although I've been bad about keeping this blog updated, I will soon hopefully piece together on here some of the last things I was working on in the studios and hopefully that will lead into things I'm now doing outside of the studio, like starting a band with my little brother!

the pillow, the whale, and the storm

This is a piece I have recently been working on. I'll include a picture of the title card so hopefully it will make sense. It's an installation of three sculptures, one being mostly performative, but they all directly depend and play off one another.

the drawing desk

Although this is an otter-related project, I'm still unsure of what it's really about or where it really lies in the larger breadth of all things Peter. An attempt at subtly sliding a drug-related theme into the nostalgia and science of botanical and wildlife illustration is nothing short of odd. Whether it be positive or negative I am still skirting between. But don't take my word for it LeVar, maybe they're just plain good-old American drawings.

Summer Fun

These are from an installation this summer. Just never got around posting the pics...until now.
