I did this project a hill ago. I wanted to experiment with recycled materials, so I decided to make fireflies out of lightbulbs.

The following are polymer clay sculptures put in strange situations.
This was created out of wire and paper mache.
Some more of my earlier work with wire.
The sculptures below are a series I started in High school. They are different animals put in varying human situations, as a sort of social commentary.

Going into the Cooper Hewitt Museum I know I wanted to make some sort of weapon for my tool. I did not want my weapon to be functional, but rather metaphorical. I wanted it to express how I felt about weapons rather than function as a weapon. I want to make an Anti-weapon weapon.
When I was finally able to stop playing with the machines they had there, I was able to view the weapons on display. The throwing knives caught my eye. What I found most interesting about them was their shapes. Now these were beautifully unsymmetrical and organic shapes. Couldn’t a weapon just be an I’m sure this weapon surveyed it’s people more purpose than just being an object on display, but that’s the only person I’m intrigued by.
One weapon, I did not see at the Museum was a gun, which I found very strange, as this one tool did in fact change the course of history so many times. Guns frighten people; guns frighten me. They hold too much power. I want to make a gun, a gun that only serves one purpose; to remind people that they are killing part of themselves when they trigger the gun. I’m making a two faced gun!
