DAAPWORKS

Okay my lovely followers,  here comes the big one... DAAPworks.  I stated previously that DAAPworks is the culmination of the DAAP students 4+ years of schooling.  It's a big show that we put on to showcase our final works, our most slaved over works that are centered around our main thesis, all of which are different.  We have all put a lot of blood, sweat, tears into our work for this show.  We have stopped sleeping, stopped eating, stopped being normal young adults just to make sure our work was perfect for this show!  Please,  make it a point to stop by and support us in this giant step into our big kid pants.

Aronoff Center for Design and Art, Cincinnati, Ohio 45221
Opening reception: 5-9pm Tuesday, 4/23

Final Experiments

I finally found what I will be doing and making to display in DAAPWORKS (April 23 at DAAP, be there!)
I am doing the grease smears.  One with black, and one with a mixture of black, clear and red metal flake!  These grease paintings smell so strongly that the viewer will be enveloped with the smell and sense of being in a garage.  One thing I truly love about these pieces is that they are alive; They never dry so they are constantly changing.  The grease get's soaked into the paper, leaving a clear filmy halo around the grease spot.  See for yourself!

They almost look like the burnouts you do in a car!
Speaking of burnouts, check out this awesome video of my friend who allowed me to use his garage to make art with his greasy, messy car parts!
Turn your volume up and enjoy the sweet sound of a Model A!
