Totem



This piece was the starting point of my concentration series that is still continuing as of today. This piece had the idea of a gothic design in a modernistic fashion, where there will most likely be a central support structure then from the support there will be extruding beams that will create a rhythm to the piece.

Coke Bottle



This wood sculpture is an assembly of 288 pieces of small wood blocks that when put together make a form of a coke bottle. The spacing in between the wood blocks were made by cutting up tile spacers and placing them in between.

Apophisis


This is steamed wood that has been bent around a jig and assembled to create a meteor that I have dubbed Apophisis after the comet (or meteor) Apophisis destined to come between the earth and the moon.

Self-Portrait in Pen

This piece is a pen drawing of myself that incorporated a single-light source to add a more dramatic effect to the facial features.

Predella in Pen



This piece is what is to be known as a predella piece where a central figure is displayed at the top and then underneath the figure there are a couple to a few other pictures that show what defines the figure, or what the figure has. In this case, I drew myself in freshman year and then underneath me I have my hand holding a miniature chair and potato sack (these are items I really do own.) underneath that is my living room where I like to gather with family and/or friends.
