this was a project i did for my senior solo exhibition. they choose 1 senior every year and award them $500 for exhibition materials and give them a whole gallery room to show. i worked my ass off to get it and here was the end result.
i was working with the mythology of isis and how it related back to me in a very 'joseph campbell' kind of way. that led to thesophy which led to metaphysics, which led to, gee, trying to figure out the inner and outer workings of what makes every single thing tick. you can read the press written by two artists, douglas green and jason keller, here.
materials include: plexiglas, wood, fan, bovine heart in formaldahyde, scale, live emperor scorpions, black light, wood chips, plasma ball, various forms of light, alarm clocks, emergency blanket, ibprofen, drinking birds, spiderman robot, physics book, glow lights, concrete and aggregate, rubix cube, streamers, and ice.
"Universal Apparatus: The Mechanism to Travel Through the Universe on the Back of Isis", 2008
"Univerasl Apparatus: The Mechanism to Travel Through the Universe on the Back of Isis (KEY)", 2008
