I would like to do a piece that focuses on beauty and sexuality. Somehow when I saw these vases by Christopher Dresser and Sanam Emami (respectively), I imagined similar shapes replaced by women with their arms extended, holding tulips. But then I thought to do a man and a woman, to show that women are not the only people who can be classified as "beautiful". I mainly ended up sketching out an idea of a man and woman intertwined, holding a tulip together, with several other places for the flowers as well. The last two pictures are something extra I looked up on google for ideas on how to make my idea for that vase.
Assignment 3- the Box
These boxes are by Betsy Williams, and they are what inspired me to do three connecting boxes of irregular shapes. My idea is to make one tall box in the middle, with two shorter ones attached to each side. They will all have lids and meant to hold jewelry, but the middle box will have a piece in the lid to hang necklaces off of. I am going to carve into the boxes so that the jewelry can be somewhat visible from the outside.
