This project went through multiple iterations as I struggled to work with unfamiliar materials and hit my head against the wall multiple times. Regardless, I’m proud of my final results as it achieved the lighting effects I had originally conceptualized, which I had worried would be too difficult. My piece looks abstract when viewed in…

Darius Luo – “Polishing”
After some hemming and hawing, I decided to give up on my soda can idea and use mostly clay. I will later cover the clay with labels from plastic bottles. For this week, I focused on creating the silhouettes. Although they aren’t where I want them to be yet, this is a good start. I’m…

I came up with several potential concepts using these themes and have two concept proposals I’d like to share with…

Although their website says they have two artists, other websites claim they have three members. Regardless, together, they have backgrounds…
