This piece was an exploration into making a nonsense piece. I started playing with the juxtaposition of a childish toy with an adult subject matter of organs. At first this piece looks like a normal toy, but with a closer examination it becomes a weird anatomy project. I discovered a playfulness with a disturbing quality.

Aluminum Sketchbook
10"x6"x1"

I started by creating and referencing, a cast aluminum sketchbook that I created. I then used these “aluminum sketches” to create various prints with different color variations. In my final drawing, I reference the prints all well as the aluminum sketchbook. I am very interested in how the history of a material can create meaning. I reverse the roles and create 2-dimensional objects in forms of sketches on a 3-dimensional sculpture however the sculpture produces a 2-dimensional print and final drawing. The actual drawing is considered “final” however is initial identity (the aluminum sketchbook) is metal, something that can last forever. I treat identity as a journey and as being defined by and affected by the amalgamation of experiences something undergoes upon a specific journey.

I worked on this piece to play with the soft qualities associated with the female figure in contrast with the dangerous, sharp pieces of the metal used. Each piece of metal was individually cut then they were welded together. I finished this piece by lighting it on fire to give it the burnt dark color. The stereotype of woman is to be dainty, but this is not always true. This piece is the attempt to show the female figure in a different way.

Saint Obama
17"x 20"x 3.5"
Oil on Canvas and Constructed Frame

I use an age old tradition of oil painting in an attempt to create a marriage between the classic and the ideas of what contemporary art should be. I suggest that contemporary ideas can have the same integrity and can exist in the same realm as the classic. Highly influenced by Early Byzantine Art, as well as Albrect Durer's Self-Portrait from the 16th century, I reference religious iconography such as depictions of Christ. I juxtapose the contemporary icon of Barrack Obama in a position of both presidential and spiritual power. However the icon is surrounded by weapons to perhaps suggest the connections between religion power and conflict.

The premature idea of movement and grace is what has been the backbone of this piece since it's
conception. How graceful can the raw elements Earth gives us be? Can such solid materials, organic
and not, capture the movement usually only seen in the liquid? This work is my response to those
questions.

Drummato: An unexplained reasoning behind noise and its connotation with mitochondrial energy

2010-03-25T13:17:00.001-04:00

Another piece evolving function and noise.

The idea is to make the viewer interact with the work using their hands. I brought an item usually operated by the feet to the table-top level to force the use of hand instead of the more comfortable alternative: the feet. I tried to construct the piece with a high level of craftsmanship and function, with a tad of abstraction here and there.

For me, this piece is about childhood nostalgia. Throughout my youth, I frequently spent time building various structures with my grandfather. Building this piece was the first time I constructed something of this magnitude without his help. The colorful fabrics are stretched around a wooden frame to soften the structure and make it more inviting. My goal was to create a space that would evoke calming, carefree emotions, not unlike those of a child. Although the space has many juvenile characteristics, it has been built on an adult scale to invite adult viewers inside.

29 wooden phone pole structures were spread out through the Clark Garden. Playing with the design of the grounds, a non-continuous line of twine connected all of them. The line also directed the person interacting with the garden through out the entire space.

This sculpture began as an investigation into how sunlight interacts with clear plastic materials, specifically clear plastic forks. The forks are structured in individual tetrahedral shapes then melted together to form the shape of a dome. These pyramid structures are based on Buckminster Fuller's geodesic dome Spaceship Earth at Epcot, but assembled in a chaotic way to contrast the repetitive organization of Buckminster Fuller's dome. The plastic forks surround the flowers within it to mimic the overuse of non renewable resources surrounding our every day lives.

In Context

2008-05-23T08:25:00.010-04:00

This piece was about the necessity of teaching aides for students with learning disabilities. The book The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss is a children's book that many students first learn to read with . To express the difficulty of learning to read with a learning disability, I removed any text that did not rhyme. I decided to leave the rhyming text intact because in my experience in working with students with learning , the rhymes are where the students direct their focus.

The pages of the book are propped open and the extracted text and some of the more important images are coming out of the pages and are dispersed around the book. This is supposed to make the book look more interactive and easier to learn from as a learning aide would.

Trash-tract Expressionism

Performance (on-going)

By taking pointers from Robert Rauschenberg (moment of silence...) and his art in response to the insincerity of the mark of the Abstract Expressionists, this piece was originally conceived as my own response to the new "trash art" trend and influence in contemporary art . Critiquing the post modernist conception that everything is art and we are all artists becomes apparent when viewers pass it by as a mundane trash can refusing to recognize it as art , and/or by unknowingly deciding to participate in this art making by throwing away their refuse and (unbeknownst to them) becoming and taking up the role as the artist. More importantly it solicits the individual viewers' own interpretation and response. When confronted with this blatant message it is up to them to interpret it. Interestingly so their interpretation becomes an outlet in which their own individual ideas in regards to art and their artistic practice (for those that are artists) As well as the way in which they themselves view art, their subjectivity, which comes to the foreground exposing each individuals conceptions or perhaps confusions.

metal, plastic, paint, hard wood flooring, student art

The White Cube is the new University of Delaware Undergraduate Student Art Gallery. This magnificent new space radiates with luminosity (which may just be the sun light penetrating the fragmented frosted façade and reflecting from the metal). It is the latest of its kind: Responsive Architecture!!! Two of the four walls continuously move and adapt to the surrounding conditions, while one and a quarter walls have been (sort of) built up to allow for 2-D art display. There is a vast expanse of 25 ft³ of floor space to allow for the display of freestanding sculpture(s). Keeping with the latest artistic trends this space screams “heterogeneity” and “junk-art geared to junk-bond budgets”. With all the great art being produced by the University of Delaware Fine Art and Visual Communications students it is only fair that we give them a space to showcase their work. This high quality structure not only shows how much the University cares and provides for its Art students, but also shows that it fosters “the creative solitude” by tucking it away from plain-sight.

Wax

We all are different, but still the same. Different backgrounds, different cultures, different stories, etc. but still we all are human beings. By de-personifying many faces through repetitions and monotony, the sculptural object embodies this specific idea.
Sections of casted wax from face molds, previously made from various people, where used to create this amorphous object. Even though still a work in progress, it also is always in change, since the qualities of the wax permit it to warp easily in time.

Fabric curtain, metal curtain rod, wooden drawers, answering machine

Using a theatrical curtain and a simple set of drawers, my goal was to showcase (but not recreate) the life of the person whom the answering machine belonged to. Taking great care to choose items that wouldn't compete with the personality of the answering machine, you are left with only the flashing light to entice you, a light informing you that there are messages. Those curious enough, bold enough, or just plain nosy enough to press "play" are rewarded with approximately 20 minutes of completely unaltered messages that were, in the opinion of the previous owner, too... something to delete. Children, grandchildren, neighbors, friends, some are funny, some sad or strange, and some completely unintelligible, but through the voices you get a sense of their relationships, their troubles, and day to day lives and how they all connect to the anonymous person who kept them all these years.

**Note: I will be recording the tape on to iTunes to make it available to anyone interested in listening to it in its entirety. I'll also be making a transcript of the messages. Under no circumstances are they to be used for any reason, except for your own listening/reading pleasure, without my explicit permission.

Anyone interested in the recording or the transcript can e-mail me at sheilam@udel.edu. Please make the subject "Answering Machine" to avoid accidental deletion.

My house started as a simple way of encompassing the space beneath the tree, staking a claim on a space individual to me. What made it a home was the process. Diligently tying the strings, watching my hands do the work, I felt peace. The continuous tying allowed my mind to confront the loss of my Uncle and my Pa. Every thread, a thought or memory, they are my family, and within them I can sit on a chair in front of a branch desk and feel at home.

In this sculpture I wanted to represent a justification of rebellion against the idea of what is art. Why I can't present my personal and most intimate idea, but only those things outside of me. I can't be anyone else, but myself and people can relate to that. I want to feel liberated on my creation of art. FREE ART!!!!

This sculpture has a lot of meaning for me and the spectator who watches the piece. is a question of your true identity in society, knowing what is trying to stopping you, are you willing to go back to that? With this in question I try every possible thing not to go back to the traditionalist way of thinking with a string barrier and a shield instructed to me by my ancestors. In a sense, I use everything they thought me and new reason to overcome this obstacle.

This mermaid proved to be a challenge in the sense that making the foam mold was very trying. I learned so much about mold making and different types if foam bodies that it was well worth the investigation that took place surrounding this piece. I am pleased with the end result as the cast mermaid appears to be sunken at the bottom of the sea and then perhaps placed in a museum case.

This work is symbolic of adam and eve's sensory awakening within the garden of eden. The quote on the crate is taken from Paradise Lost, by John Milton. Our becoming aware has lead to our ultimate downfall and this work is meant to convey that. The fruit each have a representation of the five senses attached to them and the skin area are covered in brush-able latex to give them a feeling of actual skin. They are painted in acrylic.

My Lion

2008-05-08T10:22:00.006-04:00

This piece is about capturing the essence of a lions beauty, strength and ferocity but to different moments in a viewers experience. The image of the lion is only revealed at one particular moment. At all other times, the piece still captures the essence and beauty of a lion, but in forms that are either lost or abstracted. As a viewer moves around the piece, the moment of discovery occurs when the abstract forms align to reveal the lions form. This experience of discovery and revelation is the main premise behind the piece.

To me, lions represent the way I see my mother. She was recently diagnosed with and untreatable medical condition, and she has been facing this newly discovered information with such strength and optimism that an onlooker would never know, unless they looked closely and put together the pieces.

The sculpture started as an idea I've had for some time of building a small portable studio in which everything that I created in the space was going to become a part of it in some way (by drawing or painting directly in it, etc). The concept gave me a really strong starting ground, and then a flood of ideas clearly determined the aesthetics and design of it. Purposely the space resembles an improvised house seen in very poor neighborhoods in Latin America, and it is big enough for me work comfortably but still in a very constricted small space.

This sculpture began with the intention to create a physical representation of how I imagine ideas are created. What started as a womb-like bubble, quickly began to fall apart despite my attempts to save it. My frustration building, I decided instead to cut it apart. While the result is far from optimal, its insides and origami “babies” spilling out onto the floor, the idea machine became a metaphor for how ideas can often go tragically awry, and yet work out in more surprising and interesting ways.

Good form.

As a child, I was sad when I lost a crayon, but never white. I'm just realizing that now.
Happy Harry's sells art cups, which I choose to use sparingly.

She Confessed, "It is those moments that we live for"

Double Video Projections

When you communicate with another person you each have your own experience of that situation. Due to disparities in language and perception between people you can never quite fully understand what they are trying to say, explain, or express, especially when it comes to abstract words. So much of what the other person is trying to communicate is lost with your translation of it. Though within communication there are those times when you have this unspeakable mutual connection, and there is this "spiritual communion". They are those transient moments that we live for and seek to find.

This piece employs two perspectives of a situation. This situation was a lighted glass fish tank of water propped onto a bass amp in which a track composed of various field recordings was played through. The sound played through the amp caused the water and in turn the reflection to vibrate. The response of the water and the reflection of the light to the sound were recorded separately.

The left is a video projection of lighted water, whose form is mimetic of the glass tank it was placed in. The right is a video projection of the light reflected off of the water, whose form also is mimetic of how it appeared in situation. The projections appear to just be dissonant static, though for a fleeting moment they will line up.

The process of the entire piece employs this idea of "lost in translation". The projections which become two differing abstract landscapes work to attempt to visualize two different perceptions of a situation (the sound). Through their existence they encounter these transient moments of unity and connection.
