These are about seventy variations on different jewelry ads pulled from fashion and wedding magazines.
Apophis (silicone, plastic, paper and of course glitter)
This is a sculpture I made last semester modeled after imagery of the asteroid Apophis, which has a small chance of hitting earth in 2029 or 2036, as though it is a children’s toy. Apophis was discussed on the Colbert Report last night in this interview with Michio Kaku.
I’d like to make this into something interactive where you can throw it into a “keyhole” or maybe change the material to something more like a rubber ball.
Cosmopolitan 2012-2007
These are embroidered headlines that were featured on the cover of Cosmo over the past few years. This was so much fun to do. I can’t wait to do another embroidery project. I’m considering continuing this project… There were so many absurd headlines to choose from it was hard to settle on four.
In case it’s not clear (this was my first attempt at embroidery) they say:
Why He Just Won’t Propose
Secrets Even a Good Boyfriend Keeps From You
How to Outsmart a Bitch
Shrink Your Inner Thighs!
Updated website!
New photos in the sections homes, st-damase, and maple spring. Plus a little button so people can actually find this tumblr page!
This is what I’m working on now and it actually fits nicely with that quote I posted last time. However, it’s far too optimistic to call this a “profound re-invention”. I’m still figuring out how I feel about it.
I tried to make seamless composites of my grandmother’s house in an attempt to preserve it and failed… so this is what I’m going with.
Photographing every room and stitching it all together.
“It is our failure to become our perceived ideal that ultimately defines us and makes us unique. It’s not easy, but if you accept your misfortune and handle it right your perceived failure can become a catalyst for profound re-invention.”

This was too long to post on twitter so I’m posting it here. That’s what Tumblr is for right?

Andrea’s 5th annual backyard/bbq/birthday party was on Saturday and it did not disappoint.
Last night I got to fulfill a teenage wish of mine to see Cursive perform at La Sala Rossa. It was fantastic.
