The Wet Plate Workshop

Here's my final work for my summer class.

I was working on a performance/sculpture photo project where a sculpture I made could only exist with my intervention. I was interested in the idea of having sculptures that weren't fully realized in form alone but in movement and some sort of human intervention.








My TA said it resembled 60s performance documentation. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I keep thinking about forms and Aristotle. About how things aren't described in form or aesthetics but in functionality. Like a toy is a toy because it is played with and not because it resembles the physicalities of a toy.

AND below is a photo i took of my prof. Nick Olsen.

Douglas Corrigan (January 22, 1907 – December 9, 1995) was an American aviator born in Galveston, Texas. He was nicknamed "Wrong Way" in 1938. After a transcontinental flight from Long Beach, California, to New York, he flew from Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, New York, to Ireland, though his flight plan was filed to return to Long Beach. He claimed his unauthorized flight was due to a navigational error, caused by heavy cloud cover that obscured landmarks and low-light conditions, causing him to misread his compass. However, he was a skilled aircraft mechanic (he was one of the builders of Charles Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis) and had made several modifications to his own plane, preparing it for his transatlantic flight. He had been denied permission to make a nonstop flight from New York to Ireland, and his "navigational error" was seen as deliberate. Nevertheless, he never publicly admitted to having flown to Ireland intentionally.

Allie and I went to see the quilt woven with the thread of a million golden orb spiders at the toot today! So epic! It's the only one of it's kind in existence and took 4 years to collect the silk and weave! soooooooo awesome! GO SEE IT! That gold color isn't dyed. It's the natural silk color that the orb spiders produce. The piece was conceived by Simon Peers but took 70 workers to produce it. The silk is supposed to be comparable to kevlar in strength!

For my photo class, i had a self portrait photo a assignment. Mine's super loose but eh... i like the pictures. they're tintypes so they're printed on metal and one of a kind.

some other glass plate negatives i haven't really edited

I started my sketchbook for the sketchbook project. My topic is "In 10 min." Here are the first couple of pages.
