The latest 3D project
November 2nd, 2009 |Yea, I know I’ll never be a sculptor, but this class is almost over.
This week’s assignment: create a surrealist ‘poem object’.
What is a poem object?
I’m not really sure there is a clear answer to that, but the exercise was to attempt to place unrelated, emotionally charged objects in a box allowing an observer to make up their own story about what the arrangement of objects means.
My wife was outraged “That better not be my teddy!” she swore at me in horror when she saw the piece.

Looks like you drank 3 quarters of a bottle of whiskey and then got pissed at a teddy bear. Is Kim allowing this to be displayed in the condo? In your defense, I’ve had some stressful days where creating something like this would probably make me feel better.
It’s not in the condo yet, and I have no idea what I’m going to do with it once it’s been graded.
Everyone thinks it looks like something went wrong with the teddy once alcohol was involved.
There is also a paint brush, a jazz chart, a tea bag, and a color swatch in the box that no one notices because the bear and the whiskey are such powerfully emotional images.
Kinda weird. Kinda interesting.
