So this week was midterm project planning week. Since I've been working with sculptural models and things like depth, I carried that over into this box that I made.  It's still a work in progress. The exterior is done with gold special effects spray paint and the interior is me playing with curving landscapes, cutting images, and creating a weird sense of space. The sky is cut into descending pieces as it gets closer to the viewer while the tree in the front curves backwards to interrupt different planes of space. Then, the figure are slices into strips. The ones on the bottom disappear towards a vantage point in the landscapes while the ones from the trees pour down at an angle. I took film noir photos to slice up because I felt them to be very appropriate in portraying the varieties of emotion. The point of the piece is to combine displays of the human emotion with nature,  two topics I'm very interested in because I find both to be beautiful.  My midterm project is going to synthesize the two -- the human place inside such a beautiful world.
