Easing the Pain  "Anesthetics like novocaine or cocaine either block the body's ability to send high-frequency pain signals to the brain or will not allow sodium to flow into the nerve cell. Some drugs manage to confuse the signals given at different stages of the pain message. Naturally occurring opiates called endorphins occupy the receptor sites so that they can't receive the neural transmitter's message of pain. Cocaine interferes with the neural transmitters in just this way."   - Diane Ackerman, A Natural History of the Senses      This reading sprung and idea in my mind about coping mechanisms. There are many people who use drugs to numb their pain, and it doesn't ever solve their problems. Pain has internal and psychological connotations as well as physical manifestations and reactions. The use of cocaine to numb the pain process or continuously rejecting pain by breathing, ingesting, performing tasks that manufacture those endorphins are ...

Circadian   Materials & Dimensions Pine Wood Wood Stain Beeswax 3 3/4" x 3 1/2" x 1/2" Artist Statement on Circadian Circadian is a memory response resulting from portraying some of the sensory elements of a particular memory. It's essentially as if a slice of time were solidified in an object the size of a palm. To make an object like this, the memory that begets it must be of a substantial caliber; there must be ample amounts of sight, smell, touch, audible memory that can be recalled. This memory must then be mentally stylized in a way that emphasizes certain aspects of the memory: these are the aspects that will be emphasized in the sculpture, and ultimately become the representative pieces of the memento. The memory that I chose was of me recording videos of myself drumming in my freshman year dorm. I had been struggling with depression, weight loss, and heavy drug use at the time, and I remember the physical act of drumming becoming...

Suspension to Detail   In Process Photos Materials & Dimensions Foam Core Poster Board Cardboard Wooden Dowels Masking Tape Black and White Acrylic Monofilament Hot Glue ~5' 5" x 3' 4" x 1 1/2"  Artist Statement for Suspension to Detail   This piece was derived from two source architectural styles. The piece was meant to meld these two styles as seamlessly as possible, while suspending them in the air in a way that does not suggest a mobile or other simplistic floating form. Suspension to Detail is derivative of the Baroque and Gothic architectural movements. The curvature of the filigrees are inspired by the Baroque era, and the archway itself is in the style of Gothic architecture. These two styles are eerily different very specific ways; Gothic architecture is rife with mathematical breakthroughs, such as the pointed arch (which became a more structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing way to support an open space; it a...
