Gregor's Room!

Title: Gregors's Room
Materials: Paper and water

 

Reflection statement:

    The three sculptures visually communicate how I view Gregor's room looks like after reading "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka.

 While exploring the materials to build the sculptures, I wanted to focus on color and also the construction of the things I was trying to make because I wanted to try to show how I viewed the room as I was reading. I decided to include Gregor's box spring, bed frame, mattress. pillow, blanket, lamp, table and Gregor himself. I felt the work was lacking in the the bed frame because I had a hard time thinking of a creative way to make a bed frame to both stick with the circular theme I saw in Gregors room and that

 would be able to hold the weight of everything else. 

    I want to keep exploring new ways of making art that even though they may be hard and bothersome to try to figure out how to do, its important you learn and try your best to complete it the best you know how and as creatively as you can. I want to learn more about paper maché like ways of making things with or without glue. This piece allowed me to explore when given a thing to stick to like in the future when I have a client, that its important to stick to it and to try your best to get it done. The making of this work exposed new ideas such as making something with a circular theme and exploring fun ways to spread colors and to add color to other things.
