Can I share this video with you?
It is definitely worth the four minutes and forty-six seconds.

Beautiful poster. Can't wait to see this!

On Holiday.

It's nice to have time to be lighthearted,
especially after a semester of hard work.

School tends to make me tired, grumpy, stressed, etc.
But I try not to take everything so seriously these days.

I want to be carefree again.
I will never grow up.
I will never grow up.
I will never grow up.

I love books!
I love the smell, colors, fonts, pictures, and the taste when I am hungry!
I am confident that someday I will be surrounded by them, just like in this picture.
It would be a lovely way to wake up every morning.

Seaters

2010-05-12T20:08:00.001-07:00

Walnut and ash seaters with newspaper spun into yarn as cushion.

"A woman gains confidence through wearing a beautiful hat.
Historically speaking, hats have been most
popular during war because people needed a fantasy."

Reliquary 003

2010-04-10T17:30:00.000-07:00

The third reliquary is a continuation of the first. As the viewer turns a knob, the yarn is pulled up into the box compartment.

Reliquary 002

2010-04-10T17:25:00.000-07:00

As the viewer turns a small knob, two vibrant strands of yarn are slowly twisted together.

Reliquary 001

2010-04-10T17:06:00.000-07:00

"It's surprising how much memory is built
around things unnoticed at the time."

The viewer is invited to interact with this automaton by turning the knob. This slowly pulls the yarn into a compartment underneath the floor of the box.

First Sculpture assignments, an objects made out

of junk or found objects, and a pedestal.

These obviously were not taken with professional lighting, but who
knows if I ever actually will...

Very, very late...

2009-09-25T12:34:00.000-07:00

My first furniture piece

MDO, wire, cherry

Hopefully soon I will have a mirror photographed and up but for now,
I have some very exciting projects under way!

I am loving...!

Tanya Aguiniga!

This forest roll is so great! It sits sideways as a

bench and if you unroll it you can lay down on it.

I love her use of materials...everything is so fun!

Slapdash One

2009-08-04T19:05:00.001-07:00

A general idea of the inside of my brain, around-about-ish

Hopefully this school year will result in more work that I am proud to post on this website as last year was aimless

Until then, I am happy to post other people's pretty things

missing those days...

2009-07-05T13:23:00.000-07:00

I think it's been forever since I have sat down with a stack of magazines and had nothing to do all day! My last summer course is over in two weeks and I anticipate having a day off here and there...

Until then :)

I love the theatricality of these photographs...and I can't help but love anything that reminds me of Marie Antoinette!

Pride and Prejudice

2009-06-05T13:03:00.001-07:00

Lately I have been in love with Pride & Prejudice.

There is something about films...the cinematography, music, everything that comes together to create an experience that captures you. It is something I have been thinking about within my own art, to start with a feeling and see where it ends up.

New work!

2009-05-15T11:37:00.001-07:00

'Tis summer now so I hope to start updating more...and I actually have a little bit of work that I don't mind showing.
Both are shittily documented and I forgot to take detailed shots! Perhaps I shall update that...

"Vessel"

"Liminality is frequently likened to death, to being in the womb, to invisibility, to darkness, to bisexuality, to the wilderness, and to an eclipse of the sun or the moon.”

Liminality=the ambiguous transitional state in a rite of passage in which the person or persons undergoing the ritual are outside their ordinary social positions.

"Fable"

"My childhood has never lost its magic, it has never lost its mystery"
-Louise Bourgois

I must ask...

2009-04-08T19:55:00.001-07:00

Where is everyone getting their latest issue of Lula?

I have been checking the usual Border's constantly but cannot seem to find it!

Kiki Smith

2009-04-08T19:46:00.000-07:00

I wish I had made these sculptures...

which is to say...I really like these sculptures by Kiki Smith.

and this print!

Eugenio Recuenco

Just two of my many favorites.

Yellow Treehouse cafe by Pacific Environments Architects, New Zealand

2009-03-23T20:07:00.000-07:00

I would love to live in a tree house such as this!

Speaking of trees...I have been listening to a lot of deerhoof. I like them because I think if some rambunctious squirrels ever made a band and had a deer lead guitarist, there would be deerhoof or something like it. Have a listen!

I find "Reflection -- A Gift from Iwaki" to be breathtaking.

sometimes it feels good to be a kid again.

images from a little princess.

i officially need to post more!

Julianna Swaney

2009-01-30T09:04:00.000-08:00

Fantastical drawing and prints...somewhat along the lines of Julie Morestad.

Nagi Noda

2009-01-07T19:28:00.001-08:00

So there is fine art, fashion as art, even earth as art...but until recently I haven't considered hair as art! Nagi Noda does these fantastic hair hats.

When I was searching about for Nagi Noda I found the artist Shoplifter...she did the hair piece for Bjork's Medulla album!

Etching final

2009-01-06T12:35:00.000-08:00

I used the etching process to print brown plaid onto ivory tulle. The sticks are held together with string. It's a play on the mix between organic and synthetic materials coming together to make something beautiful.

Jacob Hashimoto

2009-01-03T17:09:00.000-08:00

I love the layers he uses and the delicate materials he uses for these pieces.

Prints...

2008-12-14T11:25:00.000-08:00

I promised a friend I would post some of my prints. These are pretty poor documentation but seeing as it was my first semester in printmaking, I doubt I will take the time to perfect documentation of my beginning work.

"Queen Bee" etching, soft ground and hard ground

"Untitled" Dry point and pronto plate

"Untitled" Hard ground and aquatint

"Untitled" dry point on map

"Men have become the tools of their tools" lithograph

Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott

2008-12-13T20:49:00.000-08:00

A team of photographers that I am loving right now.

Fashion meets dreams.

Dress two!

2008-12-08T15:05:00.000-08:00

In progress at least...I will hopefully have photos in the next week or two of the finished product on my dear model friend.

Because I'm a dork I had to include Jenny having a frolic!

2008-11-28T21:33:00.000-08:00

It is all about getting my stuff together. I am hoping that over the coming break I will be able to photograph/scan some things (old and new) to put up.

I was given the idea to do this from a friend from school. I liked the idea of being able to look back on the process of everything I have made, and I also love looking at blogs where artists do the same thing and post different inspiration and such. I thought I could contribute a little to something I like.

I think the most exciting thing I have documented is from my freshman year (last year). Voila!

I can't upload the rest for some reason, but you can view all photos at www.flickr.com/jolispaons

I love fashion but don't know how to sew so I am trying to work myself into it with different materials. Currently I am working on a dress made of tulle and sticks. I'll post as I am working on it!

Goodnight!

2008-11-19T20:19:00.000-08:00

Bonjour, je m'apelle Kelly.

I made this thing so I can share my art work and such for whoever would like to have a look-see.
