These images include the sculptures with projections in the background.<br />

The sculptural objects were suspended from the ceiling. We intend to group them closely in future installations.<br />

We painted a tree, fusing the sycamore with the cicada.<br />

The tree was painted using an opaque style of paint application and casts a strong shadow. We intended the tree to have a camouflage appearance.<br />

For the first version, there was no organic material. Beginning with drawn images and photographs, we projected sketches upon the walls in order to transfer the image to the polycarbonate. After we drew the large-scale form, the plastic was transferred to the floor, where it was painted with acrylic washes.<br />

The cell phone tower backlit. Through an experimental process of trial and error, we found that the best way to use the material was to sew two layers of screen on the polycarbonate plastic once it was painted.<br />

Vines snaked up their sides. We intend to work on their transition from an architectural object to something with more of an organic form. The phases of transition will be represented in a chronology of sculpture. This is the beginning of that metamorphosis.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">We thought about how the space might function if there were large sculptures placed centrally, and how it might change if the sculptures were scattered throughout. This was a lot of fun and an excellent way to see how our different ideas might work together.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">For the maquette we used a variety of found materials including cardboard, paper, screen, thread, and glue. We also included drawings and collaged images on the walls to suggest how a large wall drawing might work with the sculptural forms.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
