The Rock Chairs Continue...

The other after noon Vinnie and I created two more of the rock chairs.  We placed them infront of the Powell Campus Center on Alfred University Campus and in the stream nearby the campus.  We also have plans to complete a ton of chairs all over upstate New York.  Here are the images of the newest chairs and keep a look out for more.

I also got to see how long these chairs stayed up.  They stayed up for about four days.  I believe that someone knocked down them both so they are sturdy enough to withstand the weather.

Andy Goldsworthy Inspired Sculpture Series - Come Sit With Me

The Stone Chairs is a series of sculptures my fellow artist, Vinnie Gravanda, and I are making this summer.   This is the first of the many installments of the sculptures.  It is made of rock and some mud.   They are inspired by Andy Goldsworthy's giant stone eggs as well as some other artists that I have mentioned before in my blog.

We accidently made it on someone's property instead of university property and the owner came up to us on a four-wheeler to warn us about her rottwieler.  Also to tell us to get off her land but she was being subtle.

We also saw this adorable, little toad too!

Photo Number Three!

Hey guys,

The sentence for my third week of my project with Britny Wainwright is:

"Those golden dreams so crazy and wild descended the terrace in groups of three."

And here is the result from that.

Hope you like.

A Photo Project

I am doing a photo project over this summer with Britny Wainwright.  We are trading sentences once a week and creating a photo out of our interpretation of the other's sentence.  I have decided to add a bit of whimsy and a feeling like there is something strange going on in the photo.

The first sentence I recieved is: "To fall upwards is something never expected."

The second sentence is: "The trials and tribulations of the songs we sing lead us to an intricate harmony."

I am really excited about this project.  I cannot wait to see everything we both come up with.
