In Class Scupture




In a recent class, we were given three words at random and told to make a sculpture using materials found in the classroom based on these words.  I worked with Carley Jacobson to make our sculpture based on the three words vaporecence, impropriate and counterpunch.  The pinwheel spins in reaction to the hair dryer; this represents both vaporecence and counterpunch.  The springs that decorate to sculpture are another symbol of counterpunch because springs always push back when pushed.  The actual structure of the piece resembles a castle. This is tied to our third word, impropriate, which means to assume or acquire. We interpreted this word to involve assumed wealth, this being represented by the castle.  Additionally, the pinwheel spins by assuming the power of vapor, further tying the words into the piece.
