Belated Thesis Pictures

These are 3 of 8 lead reliefs, which were shown by themselves at the September 21st-October 4 exhition. Casting lead is a long process and took a while to learn. One of the models also contains a uranium ore sample. Uranium deteriorates through a long list of radioactive elements before attaining stability as Lead. This has always interested me, since Lead is one of the most effective barriers against radiation. Be encapsulating the ore sample within the lead, and the lead within plaster and resin, there are several barriers to multiple layers of raiation.

New Gallery, some new pics

September 21st- October 4th Now OPEN!

Come if you can. The Opening Reception was a blast and I am so happy and grateful for all those who came, it was a great turnout. I have to thank my family for so much last minute help and for the faculty and exhibitions department at SCAD for everything, Brian and Jen (Jenkins) Koczinski, Mike Garcia, Carlos Antonio, and also Creative Catering, for helping me out with the goodies.
More pictures forthcoming, but there are some teasers below. The exhibition included 2 videos which can be viewed on youtube at:

as well as the Litvinenko audio piece and a new audio work called "Over Here." In a separate room were my plaster, lead, resin, and uranium relief models- which I will post soon.
Thanks for everyone's support!

More Opening Pix

Preliminary Thesis Opening Pix

So, in order here are the:

1. deflated Inflatable Half-life Model which went off for an hour at the opening, and is timed to go off halfway through the exhibition, then halfway through the time left from then, etc., for half the time, each time.

2. The Aquarium Model, which also acts on the same timed intervals, sucking bubbles of air through halving volumes of water.

Open Studio performance


Thankyou John Kesling for the photos, I am trying to get some of the video onto Youtube. I spent my day at Painting Dept.'s Open Studios suctioning fine art radiating off the work on display. At the same time, my inflatable sculpture was going off at timed intervals, and I filled my bag with that too, to spread around and give away. Also in the installation piece was the Litvinenko, Litvinenko audio work played on three devices (loud at first, but steadily decreassing in volume).
