The process for making the tape shoe was actually kind of difficult. I had to trace the bottom of my shoe to get the form of the shoe. Then i had to figure out how to cut the note cards to the shapes of different parts of the shoe. After this i had to connect all the different pieces with tape. And had to layer the tape so u could barley see the not cards. I also had to tape the inside of the shoes and cut out an insole that fit after stuffing it with plastic bags to keep the shape. After all this i added the little shoe tag and create shoe laces by folding a piece of tape and punching holes in the tape shoe to fit the laces through. For my piece i found that the most successful parts were the shoe tag and the shoe laces.This is because they were the easiest part and actually came out nice and clean. the mid soles also came out okay. If i could change something about this piece it would be the tape job. I want the tape to look alot nicer and clean to make it look more realistic. I would also find a way to layer the tape. This was unsuccessful by the tape job because it wasn't done to perfection. and looks quite choppy.

The artist that inspired me is Kathleen Vance. Vance is from New York and continues to work in her studio which is located in New York its self. Her work consists of environmental installations. She inquires real life plants, water, and real soil in her pieces. Vance is inspired from nature and she likes to base her work around real life environmental issues. she has two studios the one in New York and also another one located in Maryland. This is really inspirational to me because i like how she uses real life materials and is just making landscapes on a smaller scale. the thing that really draws me in is how much detail she puts in to her work and how its like looking at the world from a birds eye view. I also love how she makes her pieces in old vintage trunks and how she could probably moves these pieces with ease and bring them with her where ever she goes. overall Vance is very interesting along with her work and i think she has a very creative and different way of working than most.
the materials i use were books, small tiles and diy wood pieces, some foil , and old piece from a light fixture. to make the chairs and table. What made it hard to work with these materials was getting an idea to come up with because these materials are very different. Finding out how to mix books and wooden chairs. Nic and I decided to make a dance floor with a disco ball. The reason why we decided to make this piece was we had chairs and thought about a VIP section, so we came up with a club where we could mix all the materials and form one big piece. Our piece is successful because its exactly how we wanted it and we had minimal problems while putting it together. we were very happy with the way that it turned out. it was hard to brainstorm ideas with the materials we had so this is what i came up with :(
For my tile piece i found that the gloss and the melted glass were the most successful parts of the piece. If i were to redo my tile piece i would most likely try and find a way to add more texture and additions to the mushroom. i would also like to have changed the red ring on the top. the subject i chose for the tile was a mushroom, the reason for this is that the theme was nature and i was thinking about things that grow in the wild and then mushroom popped in to my head.
for my cardboard piece i found the most successful part was the letters SUPREME. although it was hard to get the shape and eace letter to be about the same size. if i was to redo this piece o would want to change the way i cut the cardboard shirt. i would like to have gotten it to look neat and cut it more clean. For this piece we were allowed to do what ever we wanted. So i chose to do a Supreme box logo shirt. the reason for me to do this was that supreme is my favorite clothing company and a box logo tshirt is a super wanted piece of clothing that everyone who wears supreme dreams of having. the first texture i used was just regular cardboard this was not too bad. the only issue and the hardest problem i had to over come with this was cutting it with an xacto blade and getting it to the shape that i needed. the second texture i used was one half of a piece of cardboard. i found that it was challenging to get all the excess cardboard off without ripping or messing up the piece that i had needed The last texture that i had used was cutting the cardboard in to the letters to form the word supreme. this was the hardest out of all of the textures by far since i had to cut super small letters and making them fit on the little box that they are supposed to go one. overall the three texture i used were not so difficult but i had came across the problem of cutting everything the way i wanted it using a xacto blade. |
