Honors Seminar: Recent Work

Honors Seminar: Recent Work

Gallery show is still up, sharing space in Gallery 123 in the JC.

The opening reception was a success. It took a lot of work to put the pieces together on time and to decide where everything was going. Art is a field that is based on criticism, which I find interesting in comparison to journalism.

There is always a "big brother" somewhere.

This is the second chair I made and the first item I have ever displayed in a gallery space. People are shocked to find that the chair actually works, which I find funny.

In order to make something like this, I had to step into the world of welding. It sounds scary at first, but once you understand the basics of safety, you're good to go. Also, you learn more about chemical processes and how the molecules break down and gather again when the metals cool down.













The images were taken by myself.

Asma Chaudhary, "Grasshopper Epiphany," 3.5 ft. x 2 ft., extruded steel fencing and rebar, 2007.

The show is still on display, so I encourage everyone to catch a glimpse and to have a seat.
